Olivia Miles has etched her name into WNBA history after surpassing Caitlin Clark's rookie scoring record during the Minnesota Lynx's clash with the Connecticut Sun.
The milestone came just 29 seconds into the second quarter, when Miles stepped to the free-throw line and calmly sank the shot that gave her 770 career rookie points - one more than Clark's previous mark of 769.
Miles has been nothing short of sensational this season, entering the game with averages of 19.7 points, 6.0 assists, and 4.7 rebounds per contest. Her stellar play has been instrumental in propelling the Lynx to the best record in the league.
Curiously, she started the record-breaking night ice cold, going scoreless through the entire first quarter before finding her range after the break.
Selected second overall in the draft following stints at Notre Dame and TCU, Miles has wasted no time making her mark at the highest level. Breaking a record held by Clark - herself one of the most hyped rookies in league history - underlines just how special this campaign has been.
