The rookie sensation from Indiana Fever, Caitlin Stark, made history on Wednesday when set the WNBAs rookie 3-point record during the team’s win over Connecticut Sun.
In the game, Clark finished with 19 points, five rebounds and five assists. With the help of these statistics, she surpassed Atlanta Dream star Rhyne Howard and now has 88 3-pointers on the season.
Just a few days ago she tied the rookie 3-point record with Rhyne Howard.
This was a big win for Fever as it was their first over Sun this season. The team showed just how much they matured since their early defeats to the title contender. With 15-16 on the season, the team is now closer to their first appearance in the playoffs since 2016.
Caitlin Clark is a special player who is here to rule. Just three minutes into the game, she drove to her right, stepped back, and scored the historic triple. However, it went on to become a rough shooting night for her as only 7 of 17 shots were on target.
It was one of her USPs when she entered the league. However, she has been a bit inconsistent so far in the league. She is only 33% on 8.5 attempts per game before Wednesday’s game.
Even if she hasn’t been as consistent as she was in college, she still remains a significant threat. After the conclusion of the game, no one in the league has made more 3-pointers than Caitlin Clark. Her shooting ability also opens up many playmaking opportunities as well.
