As it goes, game recognizes game, and Clark was visited by former UConn great Maya Moore ahead of Iowa's matchup vs. Ohio State on Sunday.

It was an exceptionally cool moment for Clark, who admitted she was "fangirling so hard" over Moore's appearance ahead of Iowa's senior day; Clark has referred to Moore as her favorite player throughout her career.

It certainly makes sense why Clark would hold Moore on that high a pedestal: Moore is one of, if not the most, decorated basketball players of all time. A four-time NBA champion, two-time NCAA champion and two-time Naismith College Basketball Player of the Year, Moore officially retired from basketball in 2023.

As for Clark, she still is chasing down that championship after coming up just short in the championship game vs. LSU in 2023.
