Caitlin Clark Breaks Historic Scoring Record, Continues Incredible Domination

Published|Updated

Caitlin Clark is officially the highest-scoring woman to ever play college basketball.

The Iowa Hawkeyes superstar previously broke the NCAA scoring record for women's basketball, which was previously held by Kelsey Plum. However, there was always another record looming:

Lynette Woodard's 3,649 points scored while she was at Kansas prior to the NCAA being the governing body of major women's college basketball.

Well, that record is also now Clark's.

Caitlin Clark breaks all-time women's basketball scoring record.

Clark hung 33 points on Minnesota during a 108-60 blowout win to push her career points total to 3,650 - a single point more than what Woodard scored at Kansas.

The women's basketball phenom now holds the all-time NCAA women's scoring record and the record for most points scored in major women's college basketball, whether recognized by the NCAA or not.

The young woman simply can't stop winning.

To make matters even more interesting, Clark is just 17 points short of Pete Maravich's all-time NCAA basketball scoring record of 3,667 points.

The Hawkeyes have one regular season game left against Ohio State, the Big Ten tournament and then the NCAA Tournament.

Even if the Maravich record doesn't fall Sunday, it will fall by the first game of the B1G tourney. It will be Clark's and there's nothing that can be done to stop the inevitable.

The Iowa star's domination is truly on a level unlike anything women's college basketball fans have seen before. She transcends women's basketball. She's the most famous college basketball player in America - men's or women's. She also does things the right way. You don't see any off-the-court drama with Caitlin Clark.

You just see a hell of a lot of winning and scoring.
