Caitlin Clark breaks Lynette Woodard’s record
As Caitlin Clark has climbed up the scoring ladder this season, some have pointed out that while her scoring output is impressive, it doesn’t match former Kansas standout Lynette Woodard.
Now, it does. In fact, it passes it.
With a 3 with 4:29 to play, Clark surpassed the longtime scoring leader in major college women’s basketball, which Woodard set from 1978-81.
That was before the NCAA ran women’s sports, so Woodard’s record has been confined to the AIAW record books.
She’s said that the NCAA needs to recognize and incorporate scoring records from the AIAW days, especially because they already do exactly that with coaching records.
For many, Clark passing Woodard will legitimize Clark and all she’s done.
Final: Iowa 108, Minnesota 60
Given how hot she started, we probably should have seen this coming: Caitlin Clark notched her 17th career triple-double in Iowa’s 108-60 win, tallying 33 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds.
It was merely one of a handful of records that Clark tallied Wednesday night in Iowa’s blowout win. Clark has officially scored more points that Lynette Woodard now, and hit more 3s in a single season than any other player.
Speaking of 3s, Iowa made a season-high 21 against Minnesota. Clark went 8-of-14 from long distance, but she was far from the only one feeling it.
Gabbie Marshall (16 points, four 3s), T McCabe (15 points, five 3s), Kylie Feuerbach (13 points, four 3s) and Molly Davis (11 points, one 3) all scored in double figures as well.
