“Unforgettable Performances: Discover the Unsung Heroes of Women’s NCAA Tournament History!”
3. Caitlin Clark, 2023 Iowa (2.33 WAR)
Clark had the most WAR in a tournament in 2024, but she actually averaged more points per game the year before.
In the 2023 run, Clark averaged 31.8 points while lapping the field in total points (63 more than any other player) and assists (33 more). Her defense was the difference-maker in 2024, but Clark’s 2023 run had the most offensive WAR since 2012.
4. Aari McDonald, 2021 Arizona (2.27 WAR)
Finally, a name that might be somewhat surprising!
Of course, McDonald had an excellent college career herself as a two-time second-team All-American. But she wasn’t the National Player of the Year like Stewart and Clark. The tournament was when she really shone in 2020-21.
