Caitlin Clark breaks Lynette Woodard's forgotten scoring record, 18 points from passing Pete Maravich

Caitlin Clark broke the NCAA women's basketball scoring record two weeks ago, but it was only on Wednesday she became the all-time leading scorer among female college basketball players.
The Iowa star passed Lynette Woodard's 3,649 career points with Kansas, erasing a significant asterisk in the NCAA's all-time scoring list. She also moved to only 18 points shy of breaking Pete Maravich's 3,667 mark for the NCAA scoring record among both men and women.
With an average of more than 30 points per game, Clark is well on pace to pass Maravich in her next game, the Iowa regular-season finale against No. 2 Ohio State on Sunday. ... Minutes before passing Woodard, Clark grabbed another official NCAA record, scoring her 155th 3-pointer of the season to break the single-season mark previously held by Idaho's Taylor Pierce in 2019.

Woodard scored her points between 1977 and 1981, a time when women's college basketball was governed by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. The NCAA didn't officially sanction women's college basketball until 1982 and does not acknowledge any players or stats from before that year. ... So for decades, Woodard stood above every female college basketball player, but wasn't recognized as the all-time leading scorer.

(5,676 posts)1. Maravich did his in three seasons.
Freshmen weren't eligible to play varsity sports in that time period.

(5,676 posts)4. No, and there was no shot clock yet either.
He did draw a fair amount of fouls while shooting though.

(11,887 posts)5. Pete would have had a billion points with a shot clock and a three-point line. okay, maybe that's an
exaggeration.
