Unranked Iowa stunned No. 4 USC on Sunday, defeating the Trojans 76-69 at home on the day that former Hawkeyes superstar and WNBA Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark returned to have her No. 22 jersey officially retired by the school.
Clark, who spent four years with the Hawkeyes, became the all-time leading men’s or women’s scorer in NCAA Division I history, was a two-time Big Ten Female Athlete of the Year (2023, 2024), three-time Big Ten Player of the Year (2022–2024), three-time Big Ten tournament MOP (2022–2024) and a First-team All-Big Ten (2021–2024).
Clark finished her career at Iowa averaging 28.4 points, 7.1 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1.5 steals in 139 games (all starts). She’s the only player since 2003 to have 40 points and 10 assists in an NCAA Women’s Tournament game, and she did it twice with Iowa. Clark’s 3,951 points and 548 3-pointers all-time are both women’s NCAA D-I records.
