Clark is immediately eligible for competition due to her graduate transfer status.
The Indianapolis, Ind. native appeared in 27 games with 13 starts at Marquette in 2022-23. She helped lead the Golden Eagles to a 21-10 record that featured the two highest-ranked wins in program history, defeating No. 3 Texas and No. 4 UConn, and an appearance in the Big East Tournament Semifinals and NCAA First Round.
Prior to Marquette, Clark saw action in 30 games with 13 starts and averaged 11.6 points, 2.4 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 29.5 minutes per game over two seasons at Xavier from 2020-21.

She scored 10-plus points 18 times over her two seasons and posted a career-high 26 points versus Valparaiso on Nov. 21, 2021.
