Caitlin Clark named Big Ten Player of the Week
Death, taxes, and Caitlin Clark is the Big Ten Player of the Week. That’s the reality the last three years and now going into year four of Clark at Iowa. This week the All American certainly earned it as she officially became the Hawkeyes all-time leading scorer, passing the great Megan Gustafson.
This marks Clark’s 19th weekly award from the conference, which is third-most in conference history. She garnered weekly honors six times last season.
Clark led Iowa to three wins in six days over, FDU, No. 8 Virginia Tech, and Northern Iowa. This week she averaged 32.0 ppg, 9.0 apg, 8.3 rpg, and had only four turnovers.
Against the Hokies, she registered 44 points, eight rebounds, and six assists. Since 2020-21, Clark has registered four 40-points performances against AP Top 10 teams. All other men or women’s basketball players have not done once.
