Clark is in the midst of a spectacular senior season. Clark leads Division I with 32.1 ppg and 8.3 apg, with 7.0 rpg.
The senior guard is the favorite to win the Naismith College Player of the Year. If Clark wins, she’ll become the first player since Breanna Stewart (2014-2016) to win the award in back-to-back seasons.
Clark has led Iowa to the No. 4 ranking in the county with a record of 22-3. Last season, Clark helped Iowa reach the National Championship for the first time in school history. Iowa lost to LSU by a score of 102-85.
