How many points did Caitlin Clark score? Exploring Iowa guard’s performance against Ohio State

Caitlin Clark has been the driving force for the No. 2 Iowa Hawkeyes once again this season. And she's on course to break the NCAA Division I women’s scoring record by next month.

Clark had another stellar outing against the No. 18 Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus on Sunday, but it wasn't enough as Iowa fell to a 100-92 overtime loss. It was only Iowa's second loss this season after their defeat against Kansas State in November.

Nonetheless, Clark did her part and posted a season-high 45 points with seven assists, three rebounds and two steals in 43 minutes. She made 14 of 16 free throws against Ohio State, converting 38.9% of her 3-pointers and 48.0% of her field goals.

Clark is fourth on the all-time list of NCAA Division I scoring with 3,306 points. She trails the leader, Kelsey Plum, by 221 points and could surpass the two-time WNBA champion by the end of February if she continues her excellent run.

Clark and the Hawkeyes (18-2, 7-1 Big Ten) will get nearly a week's break before their next game against Nebraska (13-6, 5-2). The game will tip off at 2 p.m. ET on Saturday at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa.
