Iowa's Caitlin Clark reaches 3,000 career points - ESPN

AMES, Iowa — Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark became the 15th player in Division I women's basketball history to reach 3,000 points for her career Wednesday night against Iowa State.

Clark is the first player in Division I history, women's or men's, with at least 3,000 points, 750 rebounds and 750 assists

Clark came into the game 22 points shy of the milestone — fitting for No. 22. She was playing at Hilton Coliseum, about 45 minutes from where she grew up in West Des Moines, Iowa.

Clark, the reigning national player of the year, is averaging 29.0 points this season through nine games.

Clark had 12 points in the first quarter but just three in the second. She eclipsed 3,000 points with a 3-pointer — her fifth of the game — with 6:11 left in the third quarter.

The 6-foot senior guard was playing in her 110th career game. It so happens the last player to reach 3,000 points was Iowa State's Ashley Joens, who did so during the Big 12 tournament in March. Joens, who finished her career with 3,060 points, was an AAU teammate of Clark's.
