Clark left Iowa as the NCAA Division 1 college basketball all-time scoring leader. She finished her career with 3,951 points. It is the most points scored of any man or woman in college basketball history.
Last week, the Indiana Fever selected Clark with the No. 1 overall draft pick. She joined a team that already has the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year in Aliyah Boston. The Fever will be looking to make their first playoffs since the 2017 season.
