The excitement and thrill of women’s college basketball is back with a new season. Both the NCAA finalists from last year kick-start the fresh campaigns. As it turns out, Angel Reese and the LSU Tigers couldn’t bring their A-game to the table in Vegas as they ended up on the losing side.

However, their arch-rivals the Iowa Hawkeyes made a perfect start to their season with a dominant display on court. The highlight of their game was an incredible show by their star attraction Caitlin Clark.

Caitlin Clark draws first blood

On a successful evening, the Iowa Hawkeyes registered a smooth 102-46 victory over Fairleigh Dickinson on the back of an immaculate performance by their star guard Caitlin Clark.

By displaying an amazing exhibition last night, Clark sent out a clear message that she is back for redemption. She finished with an impressive scoresheet of 28 points to go with 10 assists. Interestingly she scored her first 21 points in the first half.

The unanimous Associated Press preseason All-American was the talking point of the entire game as she scored 11 of her 17 shots. Moreover, Caitlin has double figures in 91 consecutive games. Also, she now has 44 career double-doubles.

In addition to this, Clark scored her 7 rebounds while being on the court for just 24 minutes. The national player of the year lived up to her hype and reputation in front of a sold-out Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Furthermore, she made a statement with 4 of her 9  three-point range shots ending up in the basket.
