Former Iowa teammates Caitlin Clark and Kate Martin shared the court once again on Saturday, this time as professionals.

It was Martin’s Aces that got the 99-80 win over Clark’s Fever in Las Vegas. The pair’s former coaches Lisa Bluder, Jan Jensen, Jenni Fitzgerald, and Raina Harmon were all in attendance to watch their Hawkeyes — Clark, Martin, and former national player of the year Megan Gustafson — take the court.

“It’s super special. It’s cool for our program, cool for Lisa, for Coach Jan, for all of them,” Clark said in a pregame press conference. “They’ve known me since I’ve been 13 years old and now I’m 22 getting to live out my dream and they’ve been a huge part of that and helping me get here and helping Megan and Kate to get here too. It’s a great moment for them and I’m sure they’re not complaining about a trip to Vegas.”

As for her college teammate, Clark had nothing but good things to say ahead of the showdown.

“I’m just really happy for her and everything Coach [Becky] Hammon says about her is so true,” she said. “Every person that played at Iowa and was around her knows that to be true. She’s the ultimate teammate, ultimate person, ultimate leader.”

In the end, Martin stole the show with 12 points and seven rebounds in 22 minutes, while Clark amassed eight points, seven assists, and five rebounds over 29 minutes of playing time.

“It was weird,” Martin admitted after the game. “I’m not going to lie — just looking out on the court and seeing her in a different jersey than me, it was obviously different. But it’s really fun. We’re both living out our dreams right now.”

The Aces next meet the fever on July 2nd at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
