Caitlin Clark Moves into Second Place on NCAA Scoring List

Star Guard's Historic Performance Draws First Sellout for Northwestern Women's Basketball

  • Caitlin Clark, star guard for the Iowa Hawkeyes, moved into second place on the NCAA women's basketball career scoring list, finishing with 35 points in a game against Northwestern.
  • 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.
  • Despite her success, it remains uncertain how much Clark's popularity will translate to the growth of the professional game when she enters the WNBA draft.
