University of Iowa senior guard Kaitlin Clark set the all-time scoring record for any NCAA player on Saturday, when the No. 6 Iowa Hawkeyes defeated the No. 2 rated Ohio State Buckeyes in their final season game in Iowa City, Iowa.
Clark hit two free throws before the half to pass former 1967–1970 LSU Tigers star Pete Maravich.
Clark entered the game needing 18 points to surpass Maravich's 1970 total of 3,617. Clark passed Pistol Pete before halftime and then scored 35 points in the game.

Last Thursday, Caitlin Clark announced she would be forgoing her final year of eligibility and going straight to the WNBA, a decision that understandably incensed league owners. Every home and away game has been sold out for weeks with fans wanting a look at history.
We have never seen a female player with such a complete game. Caitlin Clark can not only score but she ranks in the top five women in assists and averages several rebounds per game. She is a complete player.
But she's really known for her halfcourt logo shots – something you won't see from any woman in the game today.
And celebrities frequently come to Iowa to watch Kaitlyn play. Rapper Travis Scott was spotted in Iowa City today.

It was a technical foul by an Ohio State player that gave Catlin two record-breaking free throws.
