Her legacy has been solidified by perhaps the greatest women’s collegiate basketball player of all time.
Against Michigan on Thursday night, Iowa standout Caitlin Clark rose to become the all-time leading scorer in the NCAA women’s division.
To break the record, Clark only needed eight points, which were likely the easiest eight points of her life.
She accomplished this by making her first three field goals. It was impressive to witness how she managed to break the record.
For her, it was simply another shot, but Clark appeared to be pulling up in response to a prayer. She exceeded Kelsey Plum’s 3,527 points at Washington from 2013 to 2017, and it was all net.
The first eight points that Clark scored in the contest were Iowa’s first points overall.
As per Clark’s instructions, Michigan’s possession following the shot did not end the game. When Iowa got the ball back, though, it called a timeout to honor Clark’s accomplishment as the audience stood and cheered.
All it was for the senior was a sneak peek. In the first quarter, she scored 23 points, making eight of her ten attempts (5 of 7 from 3-point range).
