On a night senior superstar guard Caitlin Clark collected her 17th career triple-double, don’t overlook the contribution of fifth-year guard Gabbie Marshall.
The 5-foot-9 guard from Cincinnati, Ohio, knocked down four 3-pointers and registered 16 points in the 108-60 blowout win over Minnesota.
In the process, Marshall tracked down some history of her own.
Marshall is now a part of the 1,000 career points club at Iowa.

It’s a credit to Marshall’s contributions to the Hawkeyes over her career.
One of the key starting cogs during this run with Clark and graduate guard Kate Martin, Marshall has started 127 games and appeared in 156 games in her Hawkeye career.
After her 4-for-7 day beyond the 3-point line at Minnesota, Marshall has connected on 235 3-pointers in her Hawkeye career.
Marshall’s 16-point outing against the Gophers represented her seventh game this season with double-figure points. In each of those games, Marshall knocked down four or more 3-pointers.
She was one of the primary reasons that Iowa advanced to the Final Four and then the national championship game against LSU last spring. Marshall connected on 5-of-8 3-pointers against Georgia in the NCAA Tournament’s second round and then on 3-of-9 3-pointers versus Louisville in the Elite Eight.
She also made 2-of-3 3-pointers against LSU in the national championship game.
Perhaps her performance against Minnesota is the first sign that she’s ready for another run through the Big Ten Tournament and then into March Madness.
