Clark came to Iowa to reach the Final Four. Now, she's chasing a championship.
ALBANY, N.Y. — ’s final assist of the night won’t count. It came moments after the final buzzer, when she launched the game ball from midcourt to her brother Colin, seated eight rows behind the Iowa team bench. After catching a perfect pass — what else would you expect from Clark? — he tucked the ball under his arm, and later, inside a black jacket to conceal it.
” Clark thinks back to that moment now and sees the pieces she and the Hawkeyes were missing. They were young then — besides Clark, the Hawkeyes started three sophomores and a junior. But Clark was young, then, too. As a freshman, she struggled with the transition to the college game at times. Not because of the game itself, but everything else that was woven into it. She would get frustrated with teammates for not catching passes, angered that no one seemed as competitive as she.
