Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark has etched her name into the history books once again, breaking the franchise record for most 3-pointers in a single season. The rookie sensation has also become the quickest player in league history to reach the 100-3-pointer mark.
Caitlin Clark continues to make waves in the WNBA, adding another milestone to her impressive debut season. The Indiana Fever guard drained her 103rd 3-pointer of the year in the first half of Friday's game against the Minnesota Lynx, surpassing the previous franchise record held by Victoria Vivians (102).
Clark's record-breaking 3-pointer came as part of a stellar performance that saw her finish the night with 25 points, five rebounds, and eight assists. The 2021 first-round draft pick has been a driving force behind the Fever's recent success, contributing in multiple ways on both ends of the court.

Earlier this week, Clark shattered another WNBA record by becoming the fastest player to reach 100 3-pointers in a season. She accomplished the feat in just 22 games, surpassing the previous mark set by former Seattle Storm guard Sue Bird (24 games).
Clark's hot shooting has been a major factor in Indiana's recent five-game winning streak, which ended Friday with a 99-88 loss to the Lynx. The Fever currently hold an 18-17 record, placing them in contention for a playoff berth in the Eastern Conference.

In addition to her record-breaking 3-point shooting, Clark has also showcased her versatility by recording her second triple-double of the season against the Los Angeles Sparks on Wednesday. She finished that game with 24 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists, becoming only the fifth WNBA player to record multiple triple-doubles in a single season.
Clark's meteoric rise has drawn comparisons to some of the greatest players in WNBA history. She is the first rookie and the youngest player ever to achieve the 100-3-pointer and triple-double milestones.

The Fever's next game is Saturday against the Atlanta Dream at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Clark will look to continue her record-breaking season and help the Fever secure another victory in their quest for a playoff berth.
Despite Friday's loss, Clark's performance has been a bright spot for the Fever, who are fortunate to have such a talented and versatile player on their roster. With her continued success, the sky's the limit for Clark and the Indiana Fever.
