Caitlin Clark Breaks NCAA Scoring Record
Two weeks after she broke the record for women, Caitlin Clark has become NCAA Division I basketballÔÇÖs overall top scorer, period.
The Iowa Hawkeyes star went into SundayÔÇÖs game against the Ohio State Buckeyes needing 18 points to break ÔÇ£Pistol PeteÔÇØ MaravichÔÇÖs record of 3,667 career points, which stood for more than 50 years. And with a second-quarter free throw, she became the top-scoring player ÔÇö man or woman ÔÇö in NCAA basketball history.
By the time the final buzzer rang out in SundayÔÇÖs game ÔÇö in which the Hawkeyes beat the Buckeyes 93-83 ÔÇö Clark had scored 35 points.
ClarkÔÇÖs Sunday total sets the new NCAA scoring record at 3,685 points.

Clark’s Impressive Achievement
Following the free throw that broke the scoring record, Clark said the record wasnÔÇÖt on her mind, ÔÇ£but then when they announced it and everybody screamed, thatÔÇÖs when I knew,ÔÇØ she said in an interview with Fox reporter Allison Williams.
Clark said in a postgame interview with Williams that her team ÔÇ£came out and dominatedÔÇØ against the Buckeyes.
ÔÇ£IÔÇÖm just proud of our girls,ÔÇØ Clark said. ÔÇ£It was a fun, dominant win for us. I thought we played really well.ÔÇØ
Clark, in an interview during her Senior Night ceremony, said she is ÔÇ£very gratefulÔÇØ after starting her career at Iowa ÔÇ£playing in front of absolutely no one during COVID,ÔÇØ and ÔÇ£now itÔÇÖs impossible to get a ticket to get in the door to our games.ÔÇØ
ÔÇ£I think the people that have made it the most special, obviously my teammates, my coaches,ÔÇØ Clark said. ÔÇ£But it isnÔÇÖt what it is without all of you,ÔÇØ she continued, gesturing to the cheering crowds of fans.
ÔÇ£I mean that and I thank you,ÔÇØ Clark said. ÔÇ£This is special. I donÔÇÖt know if you guys realize what youÔÇÖre doing for womenÔÇÖs basketball and womenÔÇÖs sports in general, but youÔÇÖre changing it. YouÔÇÖre helping us change it.ÔÇØ
ÔÇ£IÔÇÖve put on an Iowa jersey for four years,ÔÇØ Clark said, ÔÇ£but like Coach Bluder and Kate [Martin] said, thereÔÇÖs still so much more fun to have and weÔÇÖre not done.ÔÇØ
Clark, 22, earned the womenÔÇÖs record Feb. 15 when she scored her first 8 points in a game against Michigan and passed Kelsey PlumÔÇÖs 3,527 points in a career that ended in 2017. Clark went on that night to score a career-high 49 points.
Continued Success
ÔÇ£IÔÇÖm just really grateful, honestly, to be able to be here and make so many of my dreams come true,ÔÇØ Clark said after the history-making game, which Iowa won, 106-89.
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. The record had been held by Kansas great Lynette Woodard, who scored 3,650 points. (Woodard played from 1977 to 1981, when womenÔÇÖs sports were governed by the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women.)
Clark and Woodard had a chance to catch up and celebrate following SundayÔÇÖs game.
Impact on Women’s Basketball
ÔÇ£ItÔÇÖs just a great time for womenÔÇÖs basketball,ÔÇØ Woodard said in an interview with FoxÔÇÖs Williams following ClarkÔÇÖs new record.
ÔÇ£Caitlin is leading the way. As she was chipping away I said, ÔÇÿRecords are made to be broken, but also, theyÔÇÖre made to be honored,ÔÇÖÔÇØ Woodard said. ÔÇ£And because of her, my records are being honored.ÔÇØ
Woodard continued: ÔÇ£I came to this game knowing she had 18 points to get. I had 19, but I have no more playing time. So, hopefully I passed her the baton for her to go ahead and burst through that ceiling, and IÔÇÖm so happy for her.ÔÇØ
The overall record comes on ClarkÔÇÖs final regular-season game as a college athlete. Though the 22-year-old senior has another year of eligibility, she announced earlier this week that she would enter the WNBA draft next month.
Continued Achievements
ÔÇ£It probably wonÔÇÖt hit me until a little bit later, but IÔÇÖm just gonna enjoy with my family and my teammates and IÔÇÖm just really thankful to be in this place,ÔÇØ Clark said when asked what emotions she was feeling ahead of her ÔÇ£official goodbyeÔÇØ to Hawkeye Nation.
Her final season has been full of big moments and big numbers: SheÔÇÖs averaging 32 points per game, but at least four times this season she has racked up 40 points. The 6-foot guard from West Des Moines is also averaging more than 8 assists per game, and she recently recorded the 1,000th assist of her college career, making her only the sixth woman in college basketball history to do so.
With the scoring record in hand, Clark is now doubtless looking to lead her team, 25-4, to a national title. Last year, they made a run to the NCAA title game, where they lost to LSU.
MaravichÔÇÖs NCAA men’s scoring record was 3,667 points, which he set playing for LSU from 1968 to 1970.
After college, Maravich went on to an NBA career in which he was a five-time All-Star. He played for the Atlanta Hawks and the then-New Orleans Jazz and for one season with the Boston Celtics. Maravich died in 1988 in Pasadena, California, at 40 years old.
