Iowa sophomore forward Hannah Stuelke had a career night Thursday, scoring 47 points in the Hawkeyes’ win over Penn State. It set a new single-game record at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Both Caitlin Clark and Kate Davis finished the game with double-doubles.
Iowa’s Hannah Stuelke told Caitlin Clark to step aside on Thursday night. The sophomore forward wanted to set a record of her own, scoring a career-high 47 points and a 111-93 victory over Penn State at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
After that monster night, Stuelke now owns the record for most points scored in a single game at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Her 47-point effort is the the new benchmark for both men’s and women’s basketball.
Stuelke didn’t just pile up the points, she was incredibly efficient for the night. She connected on 17-of-20 shots from the floor and 13-of-21 from the free throw line.
The sophomore forward came up one rebound shy of a double-double, collecting nine boards.
“I think it’s really cool. I remember watching Megan (Gustafson) and watching her score so many points and now, like, I’m the one the little girls look up to and I think that’s just amazing,” Stuelke said after the game.
Stuelke came up two points shy of setting an Iowa women’s basketball record for most points in a game. Gustafson still owns the record with 48.
Clark had a solid night for Iowa, as well. She finished the game with 27 points and 15 assists in the victory. Kate Martin was sensational, posting a double-double with 16 points and 16 rebounds.
Wednesday, Ivey poured in a career-high 37 points on 13-of-23 shooting, leading the Pistons to a 133-120 victory over the Sacramento Kings. Thursday night, Ivey did it again, scoring 26 points and connecting on all seven of his 3-point attempts.
