[February 01, 2024]
Caitlin Clark soared into second place on the NCAA Division I
women's all-time scoring list as Iowa dismantled Northwestern 110-74
on Wednesday in Evanston, Ill.
In front of the first-ever sellout crowd at a Northwestern women's
basketball game, Clark scored 35 points to boost her career total to
3,424, bringing her within 103 points of Washington legend Kelsey
Plum's all-time record.
Clark moved past former Missouri State star Jackie Stiles (3,393
career points) and former Ohio State great Kelsey Mitchell (3,402).
Clark also unseated Mitchell as the Big Ten's all-time leading
scorer.
The Hawkeyes (20-2, 9-1 Big Ten) also got 17 points and nine
rebounds from Hannah Stuelke. Clark added 10 assists and six
rebounds as part of her record-breaking night.
Melannie Daley finished with 19 points and Hailey Weaver chipped in
13 for the Wildcats (7-14, 2-8), who were outshot 55.9 percent to
41.5 percent overall and were outrebounded 42-30.
Clark is 244 points shy of surpassing LSU's Pete Maravich (3,667
career points) as Division I's all-time leading scorer for both
men's and women's basketball.

Oklahoma 66, No. 2 Kansas State 63
Skylar Vann racked up 21 points to help the Sooners upset the
Wildcats in Norman, Okla., for their first win in nearly 20 years
over a team ranked No. 2 or better in the AP poll.
Vann, who was named Big 12 Player of the Week on Monday, finished
9-for-18 from the field and grabbed eight rebounds as Oklahoma
(14-6, 8-1 Big 12) knocked off a top-two team for the first time
since beating then-No. 2 Texas in the 2004 Big 12 title game. Lexy
Keys chipped in 10 points and hit three 3-pointers for the Sooners.
Gisela Sanchez matched her season high with 18 points for Kansas
State (20-2, 9-1). The Wildcats' Serena Sundell, who finished with
15 points and 10 rebounds, missed a potential game-tying 3-pointer
from the left corner as time expired.
No. 10 Indiana 87, Maryland 73
Mackenzie Holmes poured in 23 points and Sara Scalia tacked on 22 as
the Hoosiers held off the Terrapins in College Park, Md.
Holmes finished 8 of 14 from the field, while Scalia drilled half of
her eight 3-point attempts and made 8 of 9 free throws as Indiana
(18-2, 9-1 Big Ten) won at Maryland for the first time in program
history.

Jakia Brown-Turner scored a season-high 22 points
for Maryland (12-9, 4-6), which pulled within seven early in the

Shyanne Sellers (15.4 points per game), who was out with a knee
injury.

Aaliyah Edwards scored 22 points to lead a quartet of double-digit
scorers who helped the visiting Huskies pull away from the Wildcats.
Paige Bueckers tallied 21 points, KK Arnold added 13 and Nika Muhl
supplied 12 for UConn (18-4, 10-0 Big East), which bounced back
after having its 13-game winning streak snapped by then-No. 15 Notre
Dame on Saturday.
Lucy Olsen netted 15 points to lead Villanova (13-8, 6-4), which was
outscored 44-24 in the second half en route to its third loss in the
past four games.
No. 22 Creighton 76, Marquette 71
Morgan Maly notched 21 points as the Bluejays pushed past the Golden
Eagles in Omaha, Neb.
Lauren Jensen chipped in 19 points to complement Molly Mogensen's 11
as Creighton (17-3, 8-2 Big East) stacked up its seventh straight
win. The Bluejays shot 26 of 53 (49.1 percent) from the field and
held on despite going the game's final 5:34 without a field goal.
Liza Karlen scored 29 points and Mackenzie Hare hit for 17 to lead
Marquette (16-5, 5-5), which has now lost three of its past four
games.
