Caitlin Clark Nears Scoring Record, 1K Assists

Caitlin Clark, the star player for the Iowa Hawkeyes, is nearing the women's NCAA basketball scoring record, held by Kelsey Plum, with just 66 points needed. She is also poised to reach 1,000 career assists. Her recent 38-point game led Iowa to a victory over Maryland and attracted record viewership for a women's college basketball game on FOX Sports. Plum has praised Clark, happy to 'pass the baton' and urging consideration of Clark's mental health amidst the growing attention. Clark will continue her record chase in games against Penn State and Nebraska.
