OWA CITY, Iowa — Iowa women’s basketball star Caitlin Clark has announced that this season with the team will be her last as she plans to enter the WNBA Draft.
“While this season is far from over and we have a lot more to achieve, it will be my last one at Iowa,” Clark said on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I am excited to be entering the 2024 WNBA Draft.”
Clark has scored the most points by any major college woman’s player ever on Wednesday, according to KCRG. She scored 33 points which helped her to pass Lynette Woodward, The Associated Press reported.
Clark had already broken the NCAA women’s basketball career scoring record on Feb. 15 against Michigan when she broke a school record with 49 points. That effort moved Clark, a senior, past University of Washington star Kelsey Plum’s total of 3,527 points.
