​

The Iowa Hawkeyes star went into Sunday’s game against the Ohio State Buckeyes needing 18 points to break “Pistol Pete” Maravich’s record of 3,667 career points, which stood for more than 50 years. And with a second-quarter free throw, she became the top-scoring player — man or woman — in NCAA basketball history.​

​

By the time the final buzzer rang out in Sunday’s game — in which the Hawkeyes beat the Buckeyes 93-83 — Clark had scored 35 points.​

​

Clark’s Sunday total sets the new NCAA scoring record at 3,685 points.​

​

Dat girl got game!

And only 22!

Yeah. She's going to the WNBA though, so that's going to be it I think. Still, to break a 50 year old men's record is unbelievable. I think she shoots something ridiculous like 40% from beyond the 3 pt line and 90% free throws.

She just doesn't miss.
