Clark passes Maravich’s scoring mark
Caitlin Clark stood alone at the free throw line Sunday and made the foul shots that left her standing alone atop the all-time NCAA Division I scoring chart.
The flash and pizzazz of her game have made her the biggest name in all of college basketball. Yet it was two free throws after a technical foul that pushed Clark past the late Pete Maravich’s 54year-old record in No. 6 Iowa’s 93-83 win over No. 2 Ohio State.
Clark entered the game in Iowa City needing 18 points to pass Maravich’s total of 3,667, amassed in just 83 games over three seasons at Louisiana State (1967-70). She finished with 35 to run her total to 3,685 in 130 games.
