Caitlin Clark’s time in Iowa City officially came to an end with Iowa’s 87-75 setback against South Carolina in the 2024 women’s national championship game, so here’s a look back at the career of one of college basketball’s biggest stars ever.
She became the all-time DI women’s leader in points on Feb. 15, 2024, with a quintessential long-range 3-pointer against Michigan. On March 3, 2024, Clark then surpassed “Pistol Pete” Maravich to secure the DI scoring title across both genders, and just five days later on March 8, 2024, she broke Stephen Curry’s NCAA single-season 3-pointer record against Penn State.
Here are Clark’s career stats at Iowa:
| Season | G/GS | FGM | FG% | 3P | 3P% | FTs | REB | AST | STL | PTS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020-21 | 30/30 | 8.9 | 47.2 | 3.9 | 40.6 | 5.0 | 5.9 | 7.1 | 1.3 | 26.6 |
| 2021-22 | 32/32 | 8.9 | 45.2 | 2.8 | 33.2 | 6.3 | 8.0 | 8.0 | 1.5 | 27.0 |
| 2022-23 | 38/38 | 8.9 | 47.3 | 3.7 | 38.9 | 6.3 | 7.1 | 8.6 | 1.5 | 27.8 |
| 2023-24 | 39/39 | 10.3 | 45.5 | 5.2 | 37.8 | 5.8 | 7.4 | 8.9 | 1.7 | 31.6 |
Almost three weeks later, Clark broke the single-season record for most points scored in DI women’s basketball history during the second round of the 2024 NCAA women’s tournament, and most recently she broke Diana Taurasi’s mark for the most career 3s in women’s NCAA tournament history against LSU in the Elite Eight. The feat adds a cherry atop her lengthy list of accomplishments, which have already cemented her name in women’s college basketball history.
The Hawkeyes star was one of the most exciting players in the game, whether she was sinking 3-pointers near the logo or making incredible passes. From winning multiple national player of the year awards to yanking down long-standing records, Clark’s list of milestones through her four seasons was unparalleled.
