March Madness: Caitlin Clark breaks ANOTHER record as Iowa survives a scare to beat West Virginia in thriller… Hawkeyes reach Sweet 16 to stay on track for LSU showdown

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.

Clark and the Hawkeyes will now advance to play the fifth-seeded Colorado Buffaloes in the Sweet 16 in Albany, New York – with a possible rematch with LSU on the cards in the Elite Eight.

While she arrived at 32 points, she didn’t do so efficiently – shooting 8-for-22 (36 percent) from the field and 5-of-14 (35 percent) from beyond the arc. 

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