Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark breaks another record in WNBA

Caitlin Clark has scored a career-high 35 points and broken the WNBA single-season rookie scoring record as she led the Indiana Fever to a thrilling 110-109 victory over the visiting Dallas Wings.

Clark, whose 329 assists are a single-season WNBA record, now has 761 points this season, breaking the mark set by Seimone Augustus (744) in 2006.

She achieved the feat with 2:54 to play in the third quarter of Sunday’s match, drilling a 3-pointer that knotted the game at 78-all.

Clark and Kelsey Mitchell (30 points) combined to hit 12 of Indiana’s 16 3-pointers.

Indiana (20-19), who were coming off back-to-back losses to the two-time defending WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces, clinched the No.6 seed in the playoffs, which begin next Sunday.

The Fever will play the third-seeded Connecticut Sun, who won three of the four regular-season matchups between the teams, in the first round.

Indiana tied their franchise record for single-game scoring and tied their season high for made 3s. The Fever made 38 of 76 from the field, shot 47 per cent from 3-point range and hit 18 of 21 (86 per cent) from the free-throw line.

Dallas (9-30) has lost eight games in a row.
