It was a closer contest than she may have imagined, but Caitlin Clark won her final game at Carver-Hawkeye Arena and is moving on to the Sweet 16 after a close victory over West Virginia.
In the process, Clark set the NCAA women’s single-season point scoring record as she now sits with 1,113 points – passing former Washington Huskies guard Kelsey Plum.

But she sank 11-of-12 free throws to help boost her numbers – with free throws ultimately helping her pass Plum’s mark.
