Clark, a 22-year-old native of Iowa, became the NCAA women’s basketball lifetime scoring leader in just one season after shattering the record for all-time scoring, which had stood for more than 50 years.

Here are three things to be aware of regarding Clark’s future.

Earlier this year, Clark declared her intention to forgo playing one more season of collegiate basketball in order to declare for the WNBA draft.

As for the next chapter and a new challenge in his life, Clark told co-anchor Robin Roberts of “Good Morning America” in March. And this place has allowed me to do some really wonderful things. However, I believe that having that closure was the only reason I chose to make the announcement at that time.”
