"The Iowa Hawkeyes player netted 35 points against rival Ohio State on Sunday, propelling her team to victory.

It also brought her total career points to 3,685, beating previous record-holder Pete Maravich.

The college senior entered the game - her last of the regular season - needing 18 points to pass Mr Maravich, a Louisiana State University star who earned the moniker "Pistol Pete" after scoring 3,667 points from 1967 to 1970.

But Ms Clark accomplished the task by the end of the second quarter when she hit two free throws, eliciting huge cheers from the watching crowd.

After the star point guard and her teammates won the game against No. 2 Ohio State 93-83, Mr James, the star NBA player, and Mr Biden took to social media to congratulate Ms Clark."

"... she became the NCAA's all-time leading scorer in men's and women's college basketball."

JeffyB has questions, though.
