Despite setting the all-time scoring record, Caitlin Clark refuses to slow down. The NCAA’s leading scorer is maintaining her red-hot form and allowing the Iowa Hawkeyes to advance with ease. She delivered another excellent effort for the Hawkeyes in a vital quarterfinal game against the 7th seeded Penn State Nittany Lions. The athletic point guard added another pearl to her crown by living up to her ‘female Steph Curry’ label.
Caitlin Clark now holds the NCAA Division I record for the most three-pointers made in a single season. She eclipsed Steph Curry’s total of 162 beyond-the-arc shots from the 2007-08 season. Clark soon joined Justine Fernandez and Shimmy Grey Miller for a live game break to reflect on her recent accomplishments. She was asked if she was aware she had passed Steph Curry with her first three. She said, “It took me a long. But that’s what makes it entertaining, and some of the world’s top shooters have off nights from the three-point line. But they all felt good, and that’s all you can ask.
She immediately praised the Golden State Warriors point guard, stating that he has served as a role model for her growing up. She went on to say, “Steph is fantastic. Someone I grew up idolizing. So, that was a very fantastic moment.
Furthermore, she helped Iowa win another strong game and advance to the Big 10 tournament semifinals.

Furthermore, Gabbie Marshall’s 15 points and Taylor McCabe’s speedy 12 points off the bench in 15 minutes helped to the stunning victory.
Another day, another record was broken by Iowa’s most prolific figure. Fans are thrilled to see her make more history. It’ll be intriguing to see what else she has to offer when Iowa plays either Indiana or Michigan on Saturday.
