When Iowa's Caitlin Clark broke Kelsey Plum's NCAA women's points record, she was inaccurately named the highest scoring player in the history of women's collegiate basketball. But another player, Kansas legend Lynette Woodard, had actually scored more points in her career as part of the pre-NCAA Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW). Clark has now also broken Woodard's record, but the confusion owes itself to the hidden early history of women's collegiate basketball. Professor Diane Williams of McDaniel College joins Edge of Sports to discuss this little-known early chapter of the sport.
