Caitlin Clark broke Pete Maravich’s NCAA scoring mark in Iowa’s 93-83 win over No. 2 Ohio State in Iowa City on Sunday, March 3.
Clark needed only 18 points to break the scoring record set by the late Maravich in 1970.
Maravich’s NCAA Division 1 scoring record of 3,667 points was considered unbreakable.
