Iowa's Caitlin Clark Becomes 6th Player in WCBB History to Record 1K Career Assists

Iowa star Caitlin Clark hit another major benchmark Sunday against Nebraska.

The senior guard dished out the 1,000th assist of her college career, becoming the sixth women's basketball player ever to reach that number. She's also the first to record at least 1,000 dimes along with 3,000 points.

It's only a matter of time before Clark takes down Kelsey Plum's all-time scoring mark. She was 39 points behind the Washington legend before Sunday's game tipped off.

Suzie McConnell-Serio can continue to rest easy, though. McConnell-Serio left Penn State in 1988 after totaling 1,307 career assists. Not only does she remain the career leader in the category, but no other player has reached 1,200 assists, either.

Iowa only has five games left in the regular season. Even when including the conference and NCAA tournaments, there isn't enough time for Clark to bridge the gap to McConnell-Serio.

Being the first entrant into the 3,000/1,000 club is another reminder that Clark's game goes beyond her prodigious scoring.
