Caitlin Clark etched her name into the history books Thursday night, scoring a school-record 49 points and setting the all-time NCAA Division I career scoring record for women’s college basketball as No. 4 Iowa beat Michigan 106–89 in Iowa City.

Clark wasted no time in her pursuit of the record. She entered the game with 3,520 points, just eight points shy of passing the mark set by former Washington guard Kelsey Plum. Clark scored Iowa’s first eight points.
