Caitlin Clark record tracker: Iowa star passes Brittney Griner for fourth on women’s all-time scoring list

Iowa star Caitlin Clark has already made college basketball history, but her journey is far from over. The senior guard still has much of the 2023-24 season remaining, and she is well on her way to breaking more records. 

Last season, Clark put together historic statistics during the Women’s NCAA Tournament, including the first-ever 40-point triple-double. The 2023 Naismith Player of the Year kept that momentum going into this season, breaking Iowa’s all-time scoring record on Nov. 12 against Northern Iowa, which was her 103rd game as a Hawkeye. 

Clark moved up to fourth on the women’s college basketball all-time scoring list after a 40-point performance — the 10th of her college career — in Iowa’s 76-73 win over Michigan State on Jan. 2. She hit a buzzer-beating game-winner from the logo in front of a sold-out crowd Carver-Hawkeye Arena to cap off that magnificent performance. 

On Dec. 8, Clark became just the 15th woman to reach 3,000 career points. She achieved the milestone by registering 35 points against Iowa State, marking her 41st 30-point game — the most in NCAA basketball over the last 25 years. 

But her offense goes beyond scoring. Clark became the Big Ten’s all-time assist leader after dishing out 10 dimes against Minnesota on Dec. 30. She is now the only Division I player to have eclipsed 3,000 points, 900 assists and 800 rebounds. 

Clark is climbing the all-time scoring list quite quickly as she is averaging over 30 points per game this season.

Next Iowa game: Friday, Jan. 5 against Rutgers.
