Iowa Hawkeyes’ point guard Caitlin Clark has made history after becoming the first college basketball player in an NCAA tournament to record a 40-point triple-double in a single game.

The 21-year-old forward broke the record during Sunday night’s game against Louisville, as Iowa defeated Louisville 97-83 to advance them to the Women’s Final Four. In just one game, Clark finished with 41 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds, becoming the first Division I college basketball player in NCAA history to accomplish the feat, according to the Washington Post.
