Caitlin Clark sets Fever record for most 3-pointers in single season during Indiana’s loss to Lynx


Caitlin Clark reached another milestone during the Indiana Fever’s game against the Minnesota Lynx Friday. 

In the first half, Clark drained her 103rd 3-pointer of the season, putting her in the top spot on the Fever’s all-time list for 3-pointers in a single season.

Clark is no stranger to setting records. 

Earlier this week, the WNBA rookie sensation recorded her 100th 3-pointer of the season as the Fever hosted the Los Angeles Sparks. She reached the milestone faster than any player in league history.

She also is the first rookie and the fifth WNBA player to record more than one triple-double in a season. The recently retired Candace Parker, along with Courtney Williams, Sabrina Ionescu and Alyssa Thomas are the other players in the exclusive club.
