Caitlin Clark's boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, couldn't be more proud as his girlfriend became the all-time leading scorer among female college basketball players.
The Iowa star shattered a long-standing Lynette Woodard's career point record of 3,649 points on Wednesday against Minnesota. Caitlin is now within 18 points of breaking Pete Maravich's scoring record for both men and women.
McCaffery reshared ESPN's appreciation post for Caitlin's performance on Instagram.
The original post by ESPN was captioned:
"CAITLIN CLARK RECORDS HER SIXTH CAREER 30-PT TRIPLE-DOUBLE‼️

Clark delivered a jaw-dropping triple-double with 33 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds in a 108-60 victory against Minnesota. Her performance secured a decisive win for Iowa and marked a significant milestone in her journey to rewrite the NCAA record books.
Clark, who has an NIL valuation of $910,000 per On3, broke Kelsey Plum's NCAA women's basketball scoring record two weeks ago. After her performance against Minnesota yesterday, fans couldn't help but have adorable reactions for the Iowa star.
