**Caitlin Clark and Iowa Hawkeyes Advance to First Title Game** Des Moines, Iowa - Caitlin Clark's historic performance propelled the Iowa Hawkeyes to their first title game in program history after a thrilling victory over South Carolina in the NCAA Tournament Final Four. Clark, a 6-foot-1 guard, erupted for a record-breaking 41 points on 15-of-31 shooting to lead Iowa past the defending national champions. Her performance was one of the most dominant in Final Four history. The Hawkeyes kept pace with South Carolina throughout the game, but Clark's heroics proved too much for the Gamecocks. With Iowa trailing by three points late in the fourth quarter, Clark drained a clutch three-pointer to give her team the lead. South Carolina fought back, but Clark's late-game heroics sealed the victory for Iowa. Clark's performance was particularly impressive considering she was matched up against South Carolina star Aliyah Boston, the reigning National Player of the Year. "It was an amazing feeling to be able to perform like that on such a big stage," Clark said after the game. "I'm so proud of my team and all the hard work we've put in." The Hawkeyes will now face Stanford in the national title game on Sunday, April 2. Iowa is seeking its first NCAA championship in women's basketball.
