Alex Morgan, Angel Reese and more congratulate Caitlin Clark on breaking NCAA women’s scoring record

A whole lot of people were tuned into Peacock on Thursday night to witness a bit of history.

In case you haven’t heard, Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark is now the all-time leading scorer in the history of Division I women’s college basketball. Clark entered the Hawkeyes’ games against Michigan needing just eight points to pass the mark set by Washington’s Kelsey Plum and wasted no time getting after it.

Clark sank a layup, swished a 3-pointer, and then hit another – the record-breaking shot – nearly from Iowa’s logo at midcourt in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. She scored Iowa’s first eight points, and a total of 23 in the first quarter.

And when Clark broke the record, messages of congratulations poured in from all over, including a few from women’s sports legends.
