Caitlin Clark will have a lot of eyes on her this month, including some big names from the world of women’s soccer.
The University of Iowa basketball sensation began her final NCAA tournament on Saturday, leading the top-seeded Hawkeyes to a 91-65 victory over Holy Cross in the first round.
After the game, San Diego Wave and U.S. women’s national team star Alex Morgan showed up for her side’s match wearing Clark’s No. 22 jersey.
Morgan posted a picture of herself on social media repping the all-time record holder for career points in Division I college basketball, with the striker doing Clark’s famous “you can’t see me” celebration.

Morgan has previously shown her admiration for the basketball star, congratulating her last month upon breaking the all-time scoring record.
The San Diego striker went on to play 82 minutes as the Wave began their regular-season campaign with a 2-1 defeat to the KC Current.
Morgan wasn’t the only player from the NWSL to wear Clark’s jersey on Saturday, with Chicago Red Stars pair Ally Schlegel and Sophie Jones doing the same.
