Intro....
At some point in the next few days, barring an untimely injury or an unlikely cold streak, Caitlin Clark will score her 3,528th career point for the Iowa Hawkeyes. In doing so, she will become the leading scorer in NCAA history.
But she won’t be the No. 1 scorer in women’s college basketball.
That record will still belong to Lynette Woodard, who starred for Kansas in the late 1970s and early ‘80s. Back then, Woodard was the game’s must-see star. She scored 3,649 points over four seasons, still more than any other major-college player.
The NCAA doesn’t recognize Woodard’s mark, however. That’s because she played at a time when women’s college sports had their own governing body—and the NCAA was fighting to keep them out.
