Caitlin Clark made even more history on Sunday night, and led the Hawkeyes to a Final Four for the first time in three decades.
No. 2 Iowa, behind a wild 40-point triple-double from Clark, rolled past Hailey Van Lith and No. 5 Louisville on Sunday in their Elite Eight matchup of the NCAA tournament.

Louisville cut the game to just a single point right away in the third quarter, and then again to just seven points at the midway mark. But each time Iowa rallied right back and pushed the game to double digits.Gabbie Marshall hit three 3-pointers in the period, her first points of the game, and the Hawkeyes ended the quarter on an 11-2 run while holding Louisville scoreless for more than three minutes to take a 19-point lead into the final quarter.
Van Lith finished with 27 points for Louisville in the loss. Olivia Cochran added 20 points and 14 rebounds, and Carr finished with 11 points.Clark finished the night with 41 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds. She recorded her 17th double-double of the season, and recorded at least 25 points, five rebounds and five assists for the 18th time this season. The next closest player at the Division-1 level has done that just five times.
