Caitlin Clark, who was recently named Player of the Week in the WNBA Eastern Conference for the first time, set a new record on Wednesday by leading her team the Indiana Fever to a 84-80 defeat of the Connecticut Sun.

Clark scored 19 points (7 of 17 from the field, 3 of 12 3-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws), with 5 assists and 5 rebounds. She also had 7 turnovers.

Her first 3-pointer in the first quarter gave her a season-high 86, the most for a WNBA rookie, breaking a tie with Atlanta’s Rhyne Howard, who made 85 in 2022. Clark now has 88 on the season with nine games remaining.
