It has been a season to remember for Clark so far. From breaking long standing records to getting recognition for her work, she is on a roll. After she broke the 3-PT record, her coach Lisa Bluder was over the moon. She said, “I’ve lost track. She breaks a new record every single night so I’m losing track of them.”

In a matter of weeks, the Iowa star has broken several records in the NCAA. Her recent stint started with surpassing Kelsey Plum’s 3,527-point record to become the highest scorer in NCAA women’s basketball history. Weeks later, she broke Pete Maravich’s 3,667-point record to become the all-time highest scorer in men’s and women’s Division 1 basketball.
Apart from breaking the 3-point record of Curry, the Des Moines native is also the all-time leader in assists for the Big Ten Conference, and the all-time assist leader for IOWA.
With the momentum in her favor, Clark is the heavy favorite to go #1 in the upcoming WNBA draft. As per the early projections, she will be the number one pick for the Indiana Fever. As per ESPN’s mock draft, she is believed to be the perfect fit for the Indiana franchise.
