CNN —Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese transferred their already storied collegiate rivalry into the professional ranks of the WNBA on Saturday, and it was Clark who came out on top.
But it was far from an individual effort with Clark’s teammates helping lift the Fever to their first home win of the season.
A year later, Clark and Iowa got a measure of revenge by defeating Reese and LSU in the Elite Eight of the 2024 NCAA tournament.
While the rivalry between Clark and Reese was the major talking point around the game, there was a tense moment late in the third quarter elsewhere.
Clark and the Indiana Fever were able to record an important home win.
