Iowa Hawkeyes' standout player, Caitlin Clark, has made history in NCAA women's basketball by cementing her place in second position on the career scoring list. Clark achieved this milestone during a game against Northwestern on Wednesday night, where she showcased her scoring prowess and further solidified her place among the sport's greats.

With 4 minutes and 58 seconds left in the first half, Clark confidently converted a layup, earning herself 14 points for the game and bringing her total career points to an impressive 3,403. This feat nudged her ahead of former Ohio State star Kelsey Mitchell, who previously held the second-place position with 3,402 points. Clark's ascendancy to second place came after she surpassed Jackie Stiles of Missouri State, who had 3,393 points, with a remarkable 3-pointer in the first quarter with just 2 minutes and 4 seconds remaining.
