Caitlin Clark

IOWA CITY — University of Iowa senior guard Caitlin Clark was unanimously voted as the Big Ten Player of the Year for the third consecutive season on Tuesday as announced live on the Big Ten Network’s “B1G Today” show.

Fellow Hawkeyes Kate Martin and Hannah Stuelke earned second team all-conference honors from the coaches and media.

Clark joins Ohio State’s Jessica Davenport as the only players in conference history to win back-to-back-to-back Player of the Year honors. This also marks the sixth time in seven seasons and 10th time overall that a Hawkeye has been named Big Ten Player of the Year.

A native of West Des Moines, Clark is once again a finalist for every major national player of the year award. She leads the nation in scoring (32.3 points) and assists (8.6 assists) per game after becoming the first player to finish No. 1 in both categories in back-to-back seasons. She has a nation-leading six triple-doubles this season, giving her a conference-record 17 for her career. Clark also became the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer in men’s and women’s basketball.

Clark is the first player in program history to be named first-team All-Big Ten four times in four years.

Martin is second on the team in points (389) and rebounds (191) for Iowa this season. Martin became the first Iowa women’s basketball player to eclipse 900 points, 500 rebounds, 400 assists, 120 steals and 60 blocks in a career.

Stuelke is second on the team in scoring (14.4 points) and rebounding (6.9) average.
