Alone at the top. Caitlin Clark wrote a new line in its historic season by seizing the record for points in the history of the NCAA (in the first division), men and women combined. During her University of Iowa's game against Ohio State, the playmaker passed the former legend Pete Maravichand the mark of 3,667 points scored by “Pistol Pete” with LSU between 1967 and 1970.
Caitlin Clark, however, did not, this time, mark this record with a shot from elsewhere. The (very) probable number one in the future WNBA Draft scored her 18th point of the evening on a free throw 0.3 seconds from the end of the second quarter, following a technical foul called against the Buckeyes.

On February 15, she had already become the best scorer in NCAA history, surpassing Kelsey Plum, then had broken at the beginning of the week the historic record for points scored by a player at the university level, held by Lynette Woodard, who had played in the late 1970s for UCLA before women's college basketball came under the NCAA umbrella.
Caitlin Clark plays her last match this Sunday in front of her home crowd in Iowa, for the final regular season meeting before the start of the final phase of the university season.
