Clark Named WBCA All-Region

IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa freshman Caitlin Clark has been named a WBCA All-Region honoree, the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association announced Wednesday.

The WBCA selection committee will select the 10-member WBCA Division I Coaches’ All-America team from the list of 52 All-Region honorees, which will be announced on April 3.

The All-American is the 16th Hawkeye in program history to earn WBCA All-Region honors. It is the fourth consecutive season that a Hawkeye has earned the honor. Megan Gustafson was named to the WBCA All-Region team in 2018 and 2019, and Kathleen Doyle was named to the team in 2020.

Clark, a native of West Des Moines, Iowa, leads the country in points per game (26.8), ranks second in assists per game (7.2) and 3-pointers per game (3.86), 29th in free-throw percentage (86.0), and 34th in 3-point percentage (40.9).

Clark and the Hawkeyes continue their 2021 NCAA Tournament run on Saturday against UConn. Tipoff is set for noon (CT) on ABC.
