Oklahoma's Taylor Robertson Breaks D1 NCAA Women's Basketball 3-Point Record

Oklahoma guard Taylor Robertson is the most prolific three-point shooter in women's Division I basketball history.

The senior star made her 498th career three-point basket in the first quarter of Saturday's 86-78 loss to Iowa State.

Kelsey Mitchell, who played at Ohio State from 2014-18, was the record-holder with 497 made threes.

Robertson is a fifth-year season after receiving an extra year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She surpassed Mitchell in one fewer game (138 to 139) and needed 151 fewer three-point attempts to break the record (1,135 to 1,286).

The Kansas native has been one of the best three-point shooters in the country since she arrived in college. She entered Saturday making 41.8 percent of her attempts behind the arc this season.

Robertson has never made fewer than 41 percent of her three-point attempts in each of her five seasons at Oklahoma. She is also the NCAA's active leader in free-throw percentage with a career 92.0 percent clip coming into Saturday.

The 5'11" guard has made at least 85 three-pointers in each of the previous four seasons. She entered today with 51 makes from behind the arc in 19 games.

If Robertson maintains her current pace, she could finish her college career with more than 530 three-pointers. She has a chance to get that number to around 550 if the Sooners make a deep run in the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments.

Despite Robertson's record-setting day, the Sooners are in a rut with back-to-back losses against Texas and Iowa State. They entered this week ranked No. 14 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll after winning 16 of their first 17 games.
