Caitlin Clark breaks single-season scoring record as Iowa survive scare

• Iowa star passes previous mark set by Kelsey Plum
• Hawkeyes will play Colorado in Sweet Sixteen

Caitlin Clark scored 32 points and No 1 seed Iowa survived one of their worst offensive performances of the season to beat No 8 seed West Virginia 64-54 on Monday night in the women's NCAA Tournament second-round. The Hawkeyes will play No 5 seed Colorado in the Sweet Sixteen on Saturday.

Sydney Affolter's three-point play with 2:03 to play, the Hawkeyes' lone field goal of the fourth quarter, gave Iowa a 55-52 lead. Clark and Hannah Stuelke closed the game with nine free throws to clinch the win.

As time ran out on the final home game of her college career, Clark, who became the NCAA's Division I all-time scoring leader this season, circled the court, making a heart-shaped symbol with her hands as the sellout crowd cheered. Her 32 points gave Clark 1,113 for the season, breaking the previous single season record set by Kelsey Plum (1,109).
