Two weeks after she broke the record for women, Caitlin Clark has become NCAA Division I basketball's overall top scorer, period.
The Iowa Hawkeyes star went into Sunday's game against the Ohio State Buckeyes needing 17 points to break "Pistol Pete" Maravich's record of 3,667 career points, which stood for more than 50 years.
Clark, 22, earned the women's record Feb. 15 when she scored eight points in a game against Michigan and passed Kelsey Plum's 3,527 career points in her career, which ended in 2017.
She put up 33 points against Minnesota on Wednesday to cement her place atop the all-time career points among women to play for major colleges.
Maravich's NCAA men's scoring record was 3,667 points, which he set playing for LSU from 1968 to 1970.
