Caitlin Clark had herself a day on Monday.
in NCAA D1 women's history. She has a long way to go catch ex-Oregon star Sabrina Ionescu, who leads the triple-double list with 26.
She'll surely settle for her monster effort that handed the previously undefeated Buckeyes their first loss after a 19-0 start. The Big Ten clash was close throughout the first quarter as Ohio State opened a 24-23 lead. But the Hawkeyes took control in the second quarter as Clark scored or assisted 15 of Iowa's 20 points as they opened up a 43-34 halftime edge.
Ohio State closed the gap to two points in the third quarter but never retook the lead as Iowa rode an 11-2 run in the fourth to put the game away. Monika Czinano added 22 points and four rebounds for the Hawkeyes while Kate Martin posted a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds. The Hawkeyes overcame 17 turnovers by shooting 47.7% from the field and limiting the Buckeyes to a 38% shooting night including a 4-of-25 effort from 3-point distance.
Freshman Cotie McMahon led Ohio State with 21 points and eight rebounds while sophomore Taylor Theirry added 20 points and nine rebounds. Things won't get any easier this week for the Buckeyes, who travel to face No. 6 Indiana on Thursday. A unanimous AP All-American last season, Clark joined South Carolina's reigning National Player of the Year Aliyah Boston as a unaminous preseason selection this season. She's lived up to the hype while averaging 26.7 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.5 assists. Monday's effort against the Buckeyes adds to her already strong case to challenge Boston for her NPOY throne.
