As a fourth-year player for Iowa, Clark still has the option to extend her college career for another year, thanks to the NCAA’s decision to grant an extra year of eligibility amid the COVID-19 pandemic. With an impressive average of 32.1 points per game this season, she is closing in on becoming the all-time leading scorer in NCAA Division I history, currently trailing NBA star Kelsey Plum by just 65 points.
Despite the slip, Gus Johnson’s lively commentary added to the overall excitement of the game, which saw Iowa emerge victorious with a final score of 93-85, improving their season record to 21-2.
