Two weeks after she broke the record for women, Caitlin Clark has become NCAA Division I basketball’s overall top scorer, period. The Iowa Hawkeyes star went into Sunday's game against the Ohio State Buckeyes needing 17 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. Clark, 22, earned the women's record Feb.
The overall record comes on Clark’s final regular-season game as a college athlete. Though the 22-year-old senior has another year of eligibility, she announced earlier this week that she would enter the WNBA draft next month. Her final season has been full of big moments and big numbers: She's averaging 32 points per game, but at least four times this season she has racked up 40 points.
