People expected Caitlin Clark would end her college career with a national title. But it was not meant to be as her team, Iowa Hawkeyes, came up short against South Carolina in the championship final. Hence, questions are raised regarding Clark’s legacy as she ends her college career without a single NCAA Championship. These questions cropped up despite Clark breaking several records like surpassing Kelsey Plum’s total of 3,527 points to become the leading point scorer in NCAA Division 1 basketball.

However, USWNT star Alex Morgan has no such doubts regarding the 22-year-old’s impact on the game and shared a touching message via social media. On her Instagram, Alex Morgan posted a story of Caitlin Clark’s farewell post to the Iowa Hawkeyes. The San Diego Wave FC captain gave the caption, “Changed The Game Forever.” And there is no doubt regarding this.

Some of Clark’s achievements have been outstanding. In her senior year (2023-24), some of her achievements were:

• Clark became Iowa’s all-time leading scorer.
• Obtained the highest 30-point games by any man or woman in Division I in the past 25 seasons.
• She also broke the Iowa Hawkeyes’ single-game scoring record.
• Clark became Big Ten and Iowa’s all-time leader in assists.
• Also broke the Big Ten all-time scoring record.
• Caitlin Clark was the first player in NCAA history with three career 40-point games.

Her list of achievements in the 2023-24 season isn’t limited to just these. One can go on and on about her records and accolades.

Regarding her next move, Caitlin Clark is set to enter the WNBA. She’s expected to be the number 1 pick in the WNBA draft. Interestingly, Alex Morgan enjoys the WNBA and has been spotted at matches previously. Will the USWNT veteran continue to track the progress of Caitlin Clark? Well, first let us look at the intriguing relationship between the two sporting titans.
