After Iowa’s victory over Penn State, Bluder addressed the media to answer some questions. At this time, a reporter asked her what legacy will Caitlin Clark leave behind in Iowa once she becomes the lead scorer. To which the head coach replied, “I fully intend that she will be the leading scorer of all time.
