Iowa Hawkeyes guard Caitlin Clark has been making lots of noise in women's sports for the past several years — and Thursday night she made history, too.
When she scored 8 points early in the game against Michigan, Clark became the NCAA women’s career scoring leader. And she did it in front of a home crowd in Iowa City.
It didn't take long to reach the milestone Thursday. She made the first two baskets for Iowa of the game — a 2-pointer and a 3-pointer — drawing her within three of the eight points she needed.
She dropped a 3-pointer with 7:40 left in the first quarter, still near the Iowa logo in the middle of the court, to reach it.
The game paused for a timeout, Clark hugged teammates, and the announcer broadcast the feat to the cheering crowd.
