Caitlin Clark, the standout guard for the Indiana Fever, watched as one of her college basketball records was recently surpassed. Clark, who missed most of the 2025 WNBA season due to injuries but still earned her second All-Star selection, built her legendary status during her time with the Iowa Hawkeyes from 2020 to 2024. Averaging 28.4 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 8.2 assists per game, she led Iowa to back-to-back national championship appearances and broke former LSU star Pete Maravich’s record with 3,951 career points.
One of Clark’s signature achievements was her streak of scoring 30 or more points in four consecutive games against Top 25 teams, a feat she accomplished twice during her college career. Her dominance on the court established her as one of the greatest women’s college basketball players of all time and set a benchmark for future players chasing high-scoring records.
The new record-holder is Mikayla Blakes of the No. 5 Vanderbilt Commodores. Blakes, who has led Vanderbilt to a 27-3 record this season, recently scored 35 points in a win over the No. 24 Alabama Crimson Tide. This marked her fifth consecutive game scoring 30 or more points against a Top 25 opponent, surpassing Clark’s previous four-game streak. Blakes also had 30-plus point performances against the No. 16 Kentucky Wildcats, No. 4 Texas Longhorns, and No. 10 Oklahoma Sooners.
The achievement has drawn attention across social media and sports outlets, highlighting Blakes as one of the most prolific scorers in the current college basketball landscape. ESPN Insights noted her streak with excitement, emphasizing the historic nature of her accomplishment as she continues to make an impact for Vanderbilt.
Clark now turns her focus to her third WNBA season, set to begin on May 9 when the Indiana Fever host Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings. While her college record has been surpassed, her legacy at Iowa and her influence on women’s basketball remain undeniable, continuing to inspire the next generation of players.
