After scoring 45 points to go with three rebounds and seven assists in the 100-92 overtime loss, Clark was running off of the court when a court-storming fan collided with her. She spun and fell to the ground as her concerned teammates and coaching staff rushed over to help her.
"[It was] kind of scary and could've caused a pretty serious injury to me and knocked the wind out of me, but luckily my teammates kind of picked me up and got me off the court," Clark said in a post-game press conference.
"Their AD already came and apologized to me, so I really appreciate that."
Hawkeyes coach Lisa Bluder said she was disappointed that her players weren't able to walk off of the floor safely.
