UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) --- Olivia Miles broke Caitlin Clark's WNBA record for
points by a rookie in a season on Sunday in the Minnesota Lynx's game against
the Connecticut Sun.
Miles was tied with Clark with 769 points coming into the game and moved atop
the list when she made a free throw in the second quarter. The Lynx rookie came
into the game averaging 19.7 points, 6.0 assists and 4.7 rebounds, and was a
big reason the team had the best record in the WNBA.
Miles, who was selected second overall in the draft after playing at Notre Dame
and TCU, got off to a slow start against the Sun, going scoreless in the first
quarter before getting going in the second. Her record-breaking free throw came
29 seconds into the second quarter.
Miles and Clark both accomplished their feats in 40 games.
