(IOWA CITY, Iowa) — University of Iowa basketball star Caitlin Clark has reached another milestone in her college career, breaking the NCAA all-time scoring record, a record untouched for more than 50 years — until now.
Clark broke the all-time scoring record Sunday against Ohio State, hitting 18 points in the game with a technical free throw at the end of the second quarter.
The 22-year-old now holds 3,668 points and counting, surpassing “Pistol” Pete Maravich, who scored 3,667 points while playing at Louisiana State University in 1970.
Clark broke the NCAA women’s record — which was previously held by former University of Washington star Kelsey Plum, who racked up 3,527 points — in her game against Michigan on Feb. 15.
Four things to know about Caitlin Clark’s career thus far
Before breaking the NCAA all-time women’s scoring record, Clark recorded 1,000 career assists in her game against the University of Nebraska–Lincoln on Feb. 11, becoming just the sixth player in NCAA women’s basketball history to do so.
Clark has so far secured brand endorsement deals — thanks to NIL, which allows college athletes to be paid for such endorsements — with Gatorade, Nike, State Farm and Buick, totaling nearly $800,000.
She celebrated her 22nd birthday this year by gifting her teammates new sneakers.
Despite being eligible to play for the Hawkeyes for another season due to the COVID-19 waiver her first year, Clark declared for the 2024 WNBA draft, announcing the news in a social media post on Thursday. She is projected to be the No. 1 draft pick by the Indiana Fever.
Clark was named co-freshman of the year by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association in 2021, sharing the honor with UConn’s Paige Bueckers. She was also named AP player of the year in 2023 and has been awarded the Naismith Trophy, the AAU Sullivan Award and the Nancy Lieberman Award, among others, throughout her college basketball career.
A new era of women’s sports
The Iowa basketball player gained recognition last season with jaw-dropping three-pointers, many of which were shot nearly from half-court, landing Clark and the Hawkeyes in the 2023 NCAA finals.
Although Iowa lost to Angel Reese and the LSU Tigers, the game’s ending was just the beginning. Clark’s and Reese’s competitive spirits and dominance on the court re-ignited women’s basketball.
The 2023 NCAA finals was the most-viewed NCAA women’s basketball game in history, with over 9 million viewers.
Why the controversy between 2 NCAA women’s basketball stars is a double standard Since then, game tickets have soared — some reaching as high as $5,000 — and fans are frequently lined up outside college gymnasiums to see the collegiate stars play.
The newfound interest has also reached the pros: The WNBA announced record-breaking viewership and attendance following the 2022-2023 season.
A talented group
While Clark has become a high-achieving basketball star at the collegiate level, she stands alongside a talented and well-decorated group of stars.
In February, Syracuse University guard Dyaisha Fair became the fifth all-time leading scorer in women’s college basketball, surpassing former Baylor University star Brittney Griner.
On the West Coast, Juju Watkins, a freshman center at the University of Southern California, is breaking records, too.
In her freshman season, Watkins delivered 11 30-point games in a single season, a 35-year-old record set by another basketball legend and former Trojan, Cheryl Miller. Watkins also owned a 51-point career-high performance against Stanford this season.
Like Clark, an Iowa native, Watkins chose to stay in her home state and build from within.

(NEW YORK) — Just in time for the 2024 season, which kicks off March 15, the National Women’s Soccer League and Nike have teamed up to reveal new primary and secondary uniforms for all 14 of the league’s member clubs.
This marks the first time ever in the NWSL’s 11-year history that every team’s kit will get a reset.
While the vibrant designs featured on the primary kits are diverse and unique to each club’s identity, the secondary kits have been designed to play up the strength of the collective.
There are also pre-match tops that feature a shared design created by stacking traditional team crests on top of each other, to add textures and color that symbolically unite all the clubs.
Additionally, all match-day kits feature Nike’s signature Dri-FIT ADV fabric technology, which helps to provide reinforcement, mobility and breathability, according to Nike.
Nike also made a major update by removing white shorts from the entire 2024 lineup. This came as a result of NWSL players who pointed to them as a distraction on the pitch.
“This historic uniform refresh with Nike exemplifies our continued commitment to raising the bar and elevating the NWSL brand with vibrant kits that symbolize the powerful connection between the clubs, players, fans and our communities,” NWSL Chief Marketing and Commercial Officer Julie Haddon said in a statement. “We are excited to build upon this energetic moment as we approach our 2024 season kickoff.”
For all the soccer fans excited to see the new 2024 kits, they can be viewed during the NWSL Challenge Cup on March 15, as well as during the season kickoff on March 16.

(NEW YORK) — Republican Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman announced Thursday that he will use an executive order to ban transgender athletes from competing in events aligning with their gender identity in county-run facilities.
The executive order states that sports leagues, organizations, teams and other entities in the Long Island, New York county must expressly designate teams based on an athlete’s sex assigned at birth, when applying for a “use and occupancy” permit at a Nassau County Parks property for a sporting competition or event on all levels.
Permits will not be given to any event or competition that allows transgender women or girls to compete in girls’ or women’s sporting events. The order allows transgender men and boys to play in competitions for men and boys.
This will go into effect immediately, according to Blakeman’s office.
The move goes against guidelines from local and national sports associations.
The New York State Public High School Athletic Association’s transgender policy states that it is “committed to providing all students with the opportunity to participate … in a manner consistent with their gender identity and the New York State Commissioner of Education’s Regulations.”
The National Collegiate Athletic Association transgender guidelines vary from sport to sport. Transgender student-athletes typically need to document sport-specific testosterone levels at the beginning of their season and a second documentation six months later, and then another documentation four weeks before championship selections.
The governing bodies of several national and international sports leagues, including the International Olympic Committee, require transgender women to meet certain hormone levels in order to play on sports teams with cisgender women.
There is no clear data on whether transgender women have an advantage physiologically, according to health experts.
One study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that the athletic advantages of the 46 trans women over their cisgender counterparts declined with feminizing therapy. However, this study also found theyhad a 9% faster mean run speed than cisgender women after a one-year period of testosterone suppression. A different study in the American Journal of Sports Medicine found that there is not yet any direct or consistent research suggesting transgender women have an athletic advantage at any stage of their transition.
Experts wrote in a recent JAMA Pediatrics editorial that preventing trans youth from participating in school sports could be bad for the mental and physical health of an already at-risk population because they lose out on the developmental benefits of sports participation.
Restrictions on hormone levels have impacted athletes with differences in sex development, including track star Caster Semenya, who was born intersex and has naturally high testosterone levels.
Blakeman, a Republican, said he believes the designation of separate athletic teams or sports based on sex assigned at birth “is necessary to maintain fairness for women’s athletic opportunities.”
“Women and Girls hard work, on-field achievements, and athletic futures deserve to be fostered, nurtured, and celebrated,” Blakeman stated in the executive order.
Local civil rights advocacy groups, including the New York Civil Liberties Union, argued the executive order is illegal.
“Requiring girls who are trans to compete on boys’ teams effectively bars them from sports altogether,” NYCLU said in a statement to ABC News. “Participating would mean being outed and being denied the same opportunities other girls enjoy: to challenge themselves, improve fitness, and be part of a team of their peers.”
