Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark continued her sublime debut WNBA campaign by breaking another rookie record against the Connecticut Sun on Wednesday.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 22-year-old led the Fever to an 84-80 win against Connecticut, scoring 19 points on the night.<\/p>\n
Clark’s haul included her 86th three-pointer of her opening season in the WNBA, helping her to break a rookie record set by Rhyne Howard at the Atlanta Dream in 2022. <\/p>\n
While Howard achieved her record of 85 three-pointers in a regular 34-game season, Clark hit her 86th in her 31st game. <\/p>\n
It’s the latest in a growing number of record-breaking achievements from Clark during her opening campaign in the WNBA.<\/p>\n
Clark leads the WNBA this season in three-pointers, having extended her total to 88 during the win against Connecticut.<\/p>\n
She has already set a single-season rookie record (224) for assists and has more assists and more turnovers than any other player in the league this season. <\/p>\n
Clark was drafted as first pick by the Fever in 2024 after breaking multiple records in her college years at the University of Iowa. <\/p>\n
Clark broke a 54-year record held by Pete Maravich in 2023 to become the all-time leading scorer in men’s and women’s college basketball with 3,951 points. <\/p>\n
She averaged 28.4 points, 7.1 rebounds and 8.2 assists during her college years and helped boost the popularity of women’s basketball.<\/p>\n
Almost 19 million people tuned in to watch the Iowa Hawkeyes – Clark’s college side – in their National Collegiate Athletic Association final in 2023. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
