ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Iowa’s Caitlin Clark tied a women’s NCAA Tournament record hitting by nine 3-pointers Monday night, many from well beyond the arc, in Iowa’s Elite Eight game against LSU.
Clark made her ninth 3 midway through the fourth quarter, tying the mark set by Purdue’s Courtney Moses in 2012.
The Iowa star quickly broke a tie with Diana Taurasi for career 3-pointers in the March Madness with her first one.
When she hit her seventh 3, Clark passed Oklahoma’s Taylor Robertson for the most in a career among NCAA Division I players. Clark’s ninth gave her 540.
