LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California's JuJu Watkins reached 1,000 career points in the second-fewest games in NCAA Division I history — and two games quicker than Caitlin Clark — during the second half against Santa Clara on Friday.
The sophomore guard achieved the milestone in her 38th game when she hit a jumper with 6:47 remaining in the third quarter for the third-ranked Trojans.
LSU's Maree Jackson (1976-78), Oregon State's Carol Menken (1979-81) and New Orleans' Sandra Hodge (1981-84) all reached the mark in 37 games.
Weber State's Kathy Miller and Delaware's Elena Delle Donne also did it in 38 games. Former Ohio State standout Kelsey Mitchell did it in 41 games and Texas A&M's Chennedy Carter in 44.
