Caitlin Clark sets NCAA women’s basketball scoring record with 3,528th career point

New York Times  

Making history has become almost routine through Caitlin Clark’s senior year. So it’s just special for me to be in the same area as them, and obviously, I have a lot of really good teammates that have allowed me to do my thing.” GO DEEPER Caitlin Clark's green-light range made her the gold standard in women's college basketball Plum said in early February that she was excited for Clark to move past her in the record book. “Very happy for her.” Although Clark has now set the NCAA record, she has yet to break Lynette Woodard’s women’s college basketball career scoring record of 3,649 points, set at Kansas in 1981 in the AIAW era. Though it wouldn’t appear in the record book, Clark could pass Pete Maravich’s all-time NCAA scoring record — men’s or women’s — of 3,667 points before the season ends. “I think she’s the most phenomenal basketball player in America,” Bluder said after Clark and the Hawkeyes upset previously undefeated South Carolina in last year’s Final Four.
