Clark picked for weekly B1G award

Caitlin Clark

IOWA CITY — University of Iowa sophomore Caitlin Clark was named Big Ten women’s basketball Player of the Week, the conference announced Monday.

In two games last week, Clark averaged 23 points, 10 assists and 9.5 rebounds, and was a perfect 7-for-7 from the free-throw line.

She added three steals and a block to fill her stat line for the week.

Clark led the Hawkeyes to their first Big Ten win of the season with a team-high, 24 points against Michigan State. She added 12 assists and 10 rebounds to register her second triple-double of the season and the third of her career. The West Des Moines native is the second active NCAA Division I student-athlete to record three in their career.

Clark’s third triple-double makes her the second Hawkeye in program history to record three or more triple doubles – former Hawkeye Sam Logic tallied six in her career. Clark’s triple-double is also the first for a Hawkeye against a Big Ten opponent since Logic had 18 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists at Purdue on Feb. 16, 2014.
