Lining up with Caitlin Clark’s NCAA achievement is not for the weak. But Kiyomi McMiller just proved everyone wrong.

On February 26, the Penn State Sophomore Guard helped the Lady Lions seize an 85-82 win over the USC Trojans. But what turned heads were her numbers: 40 points, 4 rebounds, and 6 assists were what she racked up in the game.

Besides leading her side to a victory, an X update from ESPN Insights disclosed that McMiller entered the league of Clark and Jennifer Schlott with another unique feat. Its caption read, "Kiyomi McMiller writing herself into the history books. McMiller has scored 30 PTS in SIX straight games, joining Caitlin Clark and Jennifer Schlott as the only players with streaks that long in the last 15 seasons."

McMiller’s 30-point-run started on February 2, when she scored 30 against the Purdue Boilermakers. Following a 37 against Michigan State Spartans, 30 against Maryland Terrapins, 32 against Northwestern Wildcats, and 37 against her former team, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.

Clark holds the NCAA record for the most 30-point games in Division I WBB history with 55 career games of 30 or more points during her senior year. And McMiller has every reason to be thrilled about joining Clark’s elite company.
