(CNN) โย Caitlin Clark and Angel Reeseย dominated in college basketball,ย andย now the pair keep making history in the WNBA.
On Sunday, Clark led the Indiana Fever to a 92-75 win over the Seattle Storm and broke another league record in the process.
In addition to scoring 23 points, the 22-year-old also recorded her 225th assist which saw her pass Ticha Penicheiroโs record for the most assists by a rookie in WNBA history, which was set in 1998.
โTo pass somebody like her, Iโm just forever thankful. Sheโs been such a legend in our game. Itโs super cool, but hopefully there are a lot more of those,โ Clark โ who leads the league with 8.3 assists per game โย saidย after the game.
The historic moment came in the second quarter of the game and was welcomed by Penicheiro in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
โRecords are meant to be brokenโฆit shows growth and evolution. Canโt think of a better player to break it,โ Penicheiroย wrote, while the Fever posted a video of the former WNBA star congratulating Clark, who finished the game with nine assists and 232 total on the season.
On Tuesday, ESPN announced the game had anย average TV audience of 2.2 million viewers, making it the most watched WNBA game ever on ABC, which like ESPN is owned by Disney.
The assist record is the latest of a string of achievements from Clarkโs first WNBA season, where she has alreadyย becomeย the first rookie in league history to record a triple-double, and marked another milestone byย dishing outย 19 assists in a single game.
But just like in college, Clarkโs brilliant performances are being matched by her rival Reese.
Also on Sunday, the Chicago Sky rookie racked up 19 points and 20 rebounds in an 86-68 loss to the Phoenix Mercury, becoming the fastest player in WNBA history to record 20 double-doubles in a single season.
Reese โ who leads the league in rebounding with 12.3 per game โ has reached the total after just 27 games and is now just two double-doubles shy of matching Tina Charlesโ record for most double-doubles in a rookie season, set in 2010, according toย ESPN.
Earlier this season, the rookie hadย brokenย the record for most consecutive double-doubles in WNBA history.
With the WNBA now back in full-swing after the Olympic break, both Clark and Reese will hope to lead their respective teams into the postseason.
Clarkโs Fever (13-15) will face the Minnesota Lynx on Saturday in itsย next game, while Reeseโs Sky (11-16) will play the Connecticut Sun on Friday.
It seems that the more the superstar rookies play, the more records will fall this season.
