Lynette Woodard Affirms Her Scoring Record Stands Despite Caitlin Clark's Attempt

Lynette Woodard, the previous all-time scoring leader in major women’s college basketball, believes her record still stands despite Caitlin Clark breaking it, citing differences in the game during her time. Woodard's argument stems from the absence of a three-point line and other regulations during her playing days. Clark, who has utilized the three-pointer to her advantage, has surpassed Woodard's record and continues to build on her points total in her final game for the Iowa Hawkeyes.

Lynette Woodard Affirms Caitlin Clark Did Not Break Women's Basketball Scoring Record

Lynette Woodard, the AIAW large-school leading scorer, refuted the notion that Caitlin Clark had broken her scoring record, stating that her record was hidden for 43 years and cannot be duplicated. The NCAA doesn't recognize Woodard's scoring mark in its own record books because she played before women's athletics were accepted in 1982. Clark surpassed Woodard's record and went on to break the NCAA women’s basketball scoring record, as well as the most points in Division I history, men’s or women’s. Woodard was celebrated at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, and Clark will play her final collegiate game leading Iowa into its second consecutive national championship game.
