Iowa’s Caitlin Clark surpassed Pete Maravich as the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer in college basketball — and continues to add to her legacy in her final collegiate season before entering the WNBA Draft.

The Hawkeyes star eclipsed Kelsey Plum’s all-time women’s scoring record en route to the new benchmark.

Iowa’s Caitlin Clark is rewriting the history books every game. Her 35-point performance in the Hawkeyes’ 110-74 win over Northwestern put Clark second on the all-time women’s scoring list. Kelsey Plum’s all-time women’s scoring record is imminent, and Pete Maravich’s all-time men’s record isn’t far behind that. In honor of Clark’s historic run, we’ve compiled a comprehensive top-25 scoring list for all of college basketball. Follow along as Clark ascends this list into immortality.
