Iowa star Caitlin Clark is now the leading scorer in major college basketball history, men’s or women’s, having passed Hall of Famer Pete Maravich’s longtime mark of 3,667 points Sunday afternoon.
The 22-year-old guard passed Maravich in the second quarter of Sunday’s Senior Day matchup against No. 2 Ohio State. Clark entered Sunday’s game needing 18 points to surpass Maravich, and she passed Pistol Pete by making a pair of free throws in the final second of the first half.
The sold-out crowd at Carver-Hawkeye Arena erupted in cheers as Clark performed yet another historic feat. The accomplishment came in her 130th career game during her fourth collegiate season. Clark entered the game leading the nation in scoring at 32.2 points per game.
