March Madness: Iowa star Caitlin Clark breaks NCAA tournament scoring record in title game vs. South Carolina

Caitlin Clark set a few more records on her way out the door on Sunday afternoon.

The Iowa Hawkeyes star erupted in the first quarter of their national championship game against South Carolina on Sunday. Clark put up 18 points in the first 10 minutes of the game at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, thanks to a deep contested 3-pointer over Gamecocks star Kamilla Cardoso in the final minute, which marked the most points ever scored by a player in a single quarter of a championship game.

That bucket also set the all-time NCAA women's tournament scoring record.
