Caitlin Clark continues to etch her name into the history books.
The Iowa senior hit the 538th three-pointer of her collegiate career in Monday’s Eight Eight win against LSU, making her the NCAA’s all-time Division I record-holder.
Clark also tied an NCAA Tournament record — also held by Purdue’s Courtney Moses from 2012 and UConn’s Kia Nurse from 2017, according to the Associated Press — by sinking nine 3s in the Hawkeyes’ 94-87 win.

The sharpshooter also set the mark for field goals made, hitting her 1,263rd in the game.
It’s the latest record-setting performance for Clark, who also owns the Division-I scoring record, which she broke with her 3,668th point on March 3 against Ohio State.
She also became the first Division-I player to have consecutive 1,000-point seasons, hitting 1,142 as a junior and entering Monday’s game with 1,055.
Clark broke the single-season three-point mark on March 9, hitting her 163rd to surpass NBA star Stephen Curry and ex-Liberty scorer Darius McGhee’s shared mark.
“Her distance shots were amazing tonight,” Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder told reporters postgame. “Her logo 3s were incredible. How do you defend that, right? It is nearly impossible.”
Clark finished with 41 points in Iowa’s win Monday, adding 12 assists and finishing three rebounds shy of a triple-double as the Hawkeyes advanced to another Final Four — where they’ll face UConn on Friday in Phoenix.
She connected on 13-of-29 shots overall, allowing the Hawkeyes to erase a five-point deficit after the first quarter, tie the game by halftime and then build enough of a lead in the second half to withstand any comeback attempt from LSU.

Iowa guard Caitlin Clark (22) reacts after making a three-point shot against LSU. AP“I thought I got some good looks off the dribble,” Clark told reporters postgame, “and I’m really comfortable shooting off the dribble. That’s what I prefer rather than catch and shoot. It was nice to have a game where I got some good looks at 3 for sure.”
