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.

Clark is expected to be the number one pick for the WNBA by Indiana Fever, according to ESPN. On Wednesday, she broke a major women’s college basketball scoring record by making 33 points.

Clark now has 2,650 points, ESPN reported.

Clark is expected to break another record this Sunday when Iowa plays Ohio State, KCRG reported. That record is Pete Maravich’s record which she is about 17 points from passing, according to ESPN.
