Throughout the regular season, Clark rewrote the record books. She first became women's college basketball's all-time leading scorer, and earlier this week, she surpassed "Pistol" Pete Maravich for the most points scored in NCAA history among both men and women.
Clark averaged 32.3 points per game in the regular season and was named the Big Ten Conference Player of the Year.

Clark and Iowa will have to win three games in as many days to be crowned champions heading into the women's March Madness tournament.
