- The game marked the first sellout in the history of the Northwestern women's basketball program, with a crowd of 7,039, many of whom were there to see Clark.
- Clark's achievement was celebrated by a large and rowdy contingent of Iowa fans who packed the arena with yellow and black, and plenty of Clark jerseys.
- Clark's influence extends beyond her scoring, with her games selling out arenas and drawing record viewership for women's college basketball.
