Iowa star Caitlin Clark became the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer in women’s basketball with a career-high 49 points during Thursday night’s 106-89 win over Michigan, shattering the record previously set by Washington’s Kelsey Plum. Clark shot 16 of 31 from the field, including 9 of 18 from 3-point range, to spearhead one of the best games of her career which also included 13 assists and five rebounds.
Clark’s record-setter bucket came on a pull-up 3-pointer in the first quarter from well beyond the line a few minutes into the contest, a 35-footer that expertly defined her limitless range. Clark had 28 first-half points and scored or assisted on Iowa’s first 15 field goals, hitting nine shots and adding six assists.
“I don’t know if you can script it any better,” Clark said. “I thought we played really well tonight.”
