Caitlin Clark continues to etch her name into the history books.

The Iowa senior hit the 538th three-pointer of her collegiate career in Monday’s Eight Eight matchup against LSU, making her the NCAA’s all-time Division I record-holder.

Clark, who came into the game with 531 made 3s, made seven of her 14 attempts from deep — several of them coming from way behind the arc at MVP Arena in Albany.
