Iowa fans proudly react to Caitlin Clark becoming the all-time scorer
Caitlin Clark has done it, she is the official owner of the all-time scoring record in NCAA women's basketball, and she did it in the best way possible.
A logo three.
Clark scored just seconds in the game to come within six points of the record. Then on the following possession drained a three-pointer to come within three points of the record. Finally, after a few possessions back and forth, Clark brought the ball just across half-court and pulled up and sunk close to a 40-foot shot to claim the record.
OFFICIALLY ON TOP 👑

Of course in Caitlin Clark fashion, however, when asked about the record after the first half, Clark talked about what the record meant to her but ultimately was focused on the game and how they needed to play better defense. Clark thanked her family, coaches, and teammates saying this record would not have been possible without them.

The crowd hit 116 decibels at Caitlin Clark’s 3-pointer, tying for the second loudest I’ve recorded in the arena (Sandfort 3 last year, Kemerer reversal vs. Penn State). Only her 3 vs. Indiana was louder.
