In a recent game against Minnesota, Clark led her team to a dominant 108-60 victory, setting new records and making headlines. Clark’s performance was nothing short of historic as she notched her 17th career triple-double, amassing 33 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds.

Additionally, she has set a new record for the most three-pointers in a single season, further cementing her status as a standout player in the sport.

Clark, often referred to as ‘Ponytail Pete,’ is on the verge of surpassing Maravich’s record, needing just 18 points to achieve this historic feat. The upcoming game against No. 2 Ohio State presents a pivotal opportunity for Clark to etch her name in the annals of basketball history. With the anticipation building around this highly anticipated matchup, fans are eagerly awaiting the outcome as Clark continues her remarkable ascent in the sport. Clark’s extraordinary performance has not only captivated fans but has also sparked discussions about her future in the sport. As she approaches the end of her regular-season games, the question of whether she will return for a possible fifth year looms large. The uncertainty surrounding her future adds an intriguing layer to her already remarkable journey. With tickets for the upcoming game averaging over $500, the excitement and anticipation surrounding Clark’s pursuit of history are palpable. Her impact on the game and her relentless pursuit of excellence have firmly established her as a trailblazer in women’s collegiate basketball. As Clark continues to rewrite the record books and captivate audiences with her exceptional talent, her legacy in the sport is poised to endure for years to come.
