She has also worked in broadcast television as a reporter for Hawaii-based news station KHON2 News
for a sold-out preseason exhibition against the Brazil women's national team.
The capacity crowd of 14,998 made it the most attended women's basketball event in Iowa in years.
Lexie Hull stepped off the team bus wearing a black t‑shirt decorated with “Iowa #22,” a nod to Clark’s retired jersey at Iowa.
She later took to her Instagram story to post the image with the caption
"big fan @caitlinclark22".
Clark then reposted Hull’s image to her own Instagram story
overlaying it with multiple pink heart emojis
"🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷".
Hull’s choice to wear Clark’s retired jersey number was a public salute to her transformative impact at Iowa.
She led the Hawkeyes to back‑to‑back national championship games (2023
2024) and finished as the NCAA's all-time leading scorer in both men and women's category with 3,951 career collegiate points.
Clark’s return to Iowa was more than nostalgic theater
six rebounds and five assists in a 108‑44 preseason rout of Brazil.
2024 WNBA All-Star Kelsey Mitchell led the way in scoring with 17 points, followed by Clark (16), Aliyah Boston (11)
Indiana’s 70 first-half points set the tone from the get-go before closing the game out with their defense
allowing just 20 points in the entire second half
Indiana now prepares for its final preseason tune‑up in Atlanta on May 10 before their regular‑season opener against the Chicago Sky on May 17.
Charley Hull has managed to stay away from cigarettes
but the LPGA star has found a different way to scratch her nicotine itch this year
Hull, the No. 14-ranked player in the world, garnered tons of attention during the 2024 U.S. Women's Open when she was filmed signing autographs for fans while ripping a heater
The England native picked up quite the following after the clip and continued to smoke cigarettes during play during the 2024 campaign
but shared on social media in early 2025 that she had bet a friend 10,000 pounds that she would stay away from cigarettes in the new year

Hull explained that she has stuck to her word and stayed away from the lung darts while claiming it's actually been a very easy process to quit
Hull's statement may be deserving of a bit of an asterisk.

Like many folks who quit smoking cigarettes, Hull hasn't quit nicotine cold turkey, but has instead of opting for nicotine gum or a patch, Hull has opted for a nicotine pouch she pops into her upper lip. An upper-decker is what the kids call it these days.
She told the outlet that she goes out and plays some days, however, and doesn't even notice that she forgot to pop one of the pouches into her mouth while on the course.
Hull has been spotted in Utah this week using Nordic Spirit nicotine pouches, which is a UK brand and tobacco-free.
It's unclear at this time if Hull has dabbled in the Zyns.

which occurred during Hull FC's 12-10 loss against Huddersfield Giants
The referee showed Knight a red card during minute 40 because of his charging action with the shoulder on Sam Hewitt
As former official Richard Silverwood stated on X
Surely both are equal?" His comment reflects concerns over consistency in officiating decisions
Sky Sports commentator Stuart Pyke defended the referee's judgment by asserting
"He cannot have any valid reasons to complain." According to Sky Sports commentator Stuart Pyke
"head-to-head situations make such actions unacceptable." According to this point of view
the player safety aspect and rule enforcement emerge as crucial elements
The dispute reveals the diverse nature of refereeing tasks while society continues to investigate solutions between maintaining fair play and protecting player security within the game
Tony Smith from Hull FC criticized the red card while emphasizing the importance of maintaining discipline and self-control from his players “We can't afford to lose players to red cards," Smith said
"The team must find a solution to reduce these situations
which will be essential for the club's future success
The red card incident has led to an expanded discussion about how consistently officials enforce rugby league rules and what standards determine an offense serious enough for red card removal.
Rugby league's integrity depends on governing bodies establishing clear guidelines
while players and officials will create an ongoing dialogue to maintain the sport's integrity throughout the season

HULL City's captain and his teammate and ex-pro boxer brothers have been involved in a daylight street brawl outside a pub
Footage appears to show the Championship club's topless skipper Lewie Coyle, 29, being led away from a spat by his brother Rocco, 18, in Hull city centre yesterday evening
The Championship team leader also supposedly was with his ex-pro boxer brother at the scene outside the Empress pub at around 8pm
who recorded the incident while travelling home on a bus
said traffic had to come to a halt as the scrap had spilt on to the road
The brawl was spotted just off Alfred Gelder Street and the footage shows at least a dozen people involved
said: "It all happened yesterday at around 8pm in town in Hull in the city centre
"At the time I wasn't aware it was Lewie Coyle - I saw him being pushed by his brother."
The witness said the bus came to a stop as Rocco Coyle guided his brother across the road by putting both hands on his chest.
Lewie walked backwards away from the scene to the other side of the road as two women walked with them.
"They were fighting right in the middle of the road so the bus was blocked
"This bus and the other side of the road were both blocked."
The source said he didn't know why the pair were fighting but that there were "lots of people" involved
Once the camera pans back over to where the brawl happened a man can be seen with blood on his face surrounded by other men
The bloody bust-up reportedly happened after bank holiday drinks at the nearby boozer
Later it emerged that the fight started in a pub when the Coyles were in a bust-up with Norland Sharks rugby league ace James Sizer
CCTV shows the fight breaking out in the pub before spilling out onto the street
Pals said James was hospitalised in the incident
and had a CT scan to make sure there was no lasting brain damage
A source told the Sun: "The CCTV that has been released in the pub is only a fraction of what went on
"Fans will be shocked when they see everything that happened
"Suddenly the whole pub seemed to be brawling
"It was like something out of the Wild West."
Hull City have acknowledged the video and said they are looking into the matter
The club released a statement today saying: "Hull City is aware of a video currently circulating on social media and has launched an investigation into the matter
"The club will refrain from making further comment until the investigation has been concluded."
BBC Humberside Sport shared the statement with the caption: "We’ve received this statement from Hull City after a video emerged on social media last night which appears to show club captain
is a professional footballer who plays as a right-back and currently captains Hull City in the English Championship
Coyle began his career at Leeds United before gaining first-team experience during loan spells at Fleetwood Town
is following in his footsteps as a promising midfielder in Hull City’s academy
having recently signed his first professional contract
Hull City drew 1 - 1 with Portsmouth at Fratton Park on Saturday
securing their survival on the last day of the Championship
Lewie confessed that it's been a "difficult year" but he's proud of his team and grateful for the support that was showed to them on the final day
He admitted to ITV: "It's been a difficult year for us this year
"A lot of it is down to our own doing
"I know exactly what that means to everyone inside that dressing room
and I couldn't be more proud of the lads

Getty ImagesSome Hull City fans have barely had time to make it back to East Yorkshire from their Bank Holiday weekend on the south coast
but already talk of another possible managerial change is on their minds as it's our understanding the future of head coach Ruben Selles is under serious scrutiny heading into this summer
Selles' remit when he was brought in last December was survival
Was it frustrating and disappointing at times
Did they have to overcome certain obstacles and challenges that hampered the ability to make greater progress
what was left behind by the carnage of previous manager Tim Walter's short but damaging time in charge needed a lot of work to clean up
The slapdash recruitment of the summer hampered them greatly too
Selles brought order and structure to how the team were being managed again after five months where at times they were doing a lot in terms of training but actually gaining very little
you can say he didn't improve the team enough
Scraping past the winning post on goal difference alone isn't much to write home about
Walter managed just three wins from August to mid-November
There have been some positive moments; a 3-3 draw at home to eventual champions Leeds United
a demolition of Sheffield United on their own patch
a gutsy and professional win at Sunderland and a badly-needed strong first-half performance at Portsmouth to set the table for the eventual survival-confirming draw
And there have been some poor ones too; in key games at home to relegation rivals Luton and Derby in recent weeks
But it surely has to be a work in progress that needs time rather than rip it up and start again
Selles has to be braver with his selection
approach and substitutions at times (though maybe some of that was based on where they were in the table) and some players need to stand up and deliver their part
in the aftermath have made it abundantly clear that despite some of the shortcomings of both Selles and his side
he has their backing and the words 'stability' and 'consistency' have led the way in the many social media posts and comments about it
It's clear that owner Acun Ilicali does things his way
whilst perhaps guided (or maybe misguided) by certain forces and influences around him
he said in December that the main reason he sacked Walter just hours after saying the German's position wasn't under threat was down to overwhelming negative fan reaction towards the former Hamburg boss
So maybe in reverse that will be what keeps Selles in a job this time around
who have long been mocked for a 'manager of the month' approach to employment in that regard
I'm told Martin Hodge's appointment as new head of recruitment (working under sporting director Jared Dublin) is only the start of an overhaul of how things are done in terms of transfers

Multiple club sources have alleged that Johnson’s relegation submission is an attempt at retaliation after several squad members criticised him in public social media posts over the past 72 hours, with players expressing fears their team “might not exist in a few weeks”.
The Guardian has heard allegations from multiple sources with knowledge of the club’s finances that there is a “black hole” of at least £200,000 that is unaccounted for within the club’s accounts across the past five seasons. The Guardian contacted Johnson for a response.
Other club personnel have reported allegations of misconduct to the FA, which is understood to be working with the club to try to help them resolve the situation.
Hull City Ladies – who are not affiliated with the men’s Championship team Hull City – are ninth in the Northern Premier Division, 14 points clear of the relegation zone and safe from the drop, with one game remaining.
The players are also unhappy that they do not have medical insurance at the club and the Guardian has been told the club does not employ a strength and conditioning coach. Eight of the team’s players are said to have sustained serious knee injuries in the past 18 months. One Hull player, Hope Knight, wrote on Facebook: “That’s not a coincidence. That’s what happens when footballers are treated like an afterthought – when ambition is replaced by greed.”
Others wishing to remain anonymous have alleged to the Guardian that Johnson “hopes the club will have to close down”, describing his request for relegation as an act of “deliberate self-harm” towards the club to try to punish the players. Knight also wrote in her Facebook post: “We can’t stay silent any longer. This is our reality, and it’s time people knew. As players and staff, we’ve seen it with our own eyes – we’ve been lied to, manipulated and bullied.”

The former England captain Carol Thomas, who is a club ambassador, said in a post on X that she had submitted her resignation because of allegations against the co-owner, saying: “Sadly, I was left with no alternative, given the revelations made to me by staff, players and sponsors alike. These are in direct conflict with my personal standards.
“My option to support the club remains open. But I can only remain or return once it can be proven that the club is run by and to the standards expected.”
Hull City boss Ruben Selles has won nine of his 28 matches in charge
Hull City boss Ruben Selles has called on everyone at the club to pull together as they look to avoid relegation from the Championship on the final day of the season
The Tigers travel to Portsmouth on Saturday in 22nd place and will be relegated if they lose
a victory on the south coast will secure their second-tier status
Speaking at his news conference on Thursday, Selles told BBC Radio Humberside he would "play the game today"
"I'm looking forward to going to compete for the three points," he said
"It has been a very difficult season for everyone but it is down to us and what we can do
"At the end of the game we will see where we are but until that moment
let us have no regrets and go for absolutely everything together and support each other because it is in those moments that you truly show yourselves."
Championship: Who needs what on the final day
It has been a lacklustre campaign for the East Yorkshire side
who finished seventh under Liam Rosenior in 2023-24
Saturday's late home defeat by fellow strugglers Derby County, a 10th loss in front of their own support this season
saw the normal end-of-season lap of appreciation scrapped at short notice
At the start of this week players were informed that their wages would be delayed
and the club's end-of-season awards ceremony was cancelled because Selles "did not want the distraction"
Some fans made their displeasure known after the defeat by the Rams but the Spaniard said that was not the reason the team did not come back out to thank the fans
"I understand that some fans can be disappointed," he said
"Everyone has the right to react in a situation that you don't like but you don't have the right to disrespect people
"We are human beings and sometimes people react
You shouldn't because then it is even worse but this is the thing when people are angry
"Sometimes people feel too much freedom to express their feelings in a way that can't be repeated."
Rubén Sellés: "We need to go and be brave"
Clark, the WNBA's reigning Rookie of the Year
Fever head coach Stephanie White told reporters of Clark after the game
and I felt like at one point she wanted to go back and put her uniform on and come out and play
she's had a lot of progress in the last 24 hours
We'll see what happens and how she feels after the workouts that she went through today
she'll be ready to go [Sunday]."
According to ESPN's Holly Rowe, Clark will play in the exhibition game on May 4
The Fever take on the Brazilian national team at the University of Iowa
where Clark became the NCAA's all-time scorer during her four-year tenure with Hawkeyes

Clark never missed a game while playing with the Hawkeyes

Goalscorer Crooks after City survive relegation
Hull City midfielder Matt Crooks says that despite having "so much quality in the squad"
the side will need to bolster their numbers if they want to avoid another relegation battle next season
The Tigers secured another year in the Championship after Crooks scored the opening goal
with Portsmouth not able to find more than an equaliser during their 1-1 draw
It was a point that took them out of the bottom three on the final day
relegating Luton Town on goal difference instead
"I think there's a comradery in the squad that can be built upon
the Championship is a tough league," Crooks told BBC Radio Humberside
"You need quality all over the pitch; I think we've got that
but we'll need to add to that if we want to improve our situation next year."
The season finale came as "a relief" to Crooks, who joined the club in January,
and is already looking forward to getting "a fresh start in the summer" with the club
"Have a positive pre-season; that's what we've got to think about now," the 31-year-old added
We can forget about it and focus on next season."

Hull FC fell to fifth position in the Super League rankings after their loss despite their initial goal to remain in the top four
The team missed an opportunity to reach top-four status during the break yet managed to slip down to fifth position

He also noted that the team's game plan fell apart early
and individual efforts were insufficient to secure a win
We wanted to put in a really good performance
we just weren't at the races," Hardaker said
Hardaker said the team displayed a subpar performance because they "turned up and played as opposed to playing how they trained

The TimesA still from the video appeared to show Coyle involved in an altercation in HullMonday May 05 2025
The TimesHull City are investigating footage of Lewie Coyle after the Championship club’s captain appeared to be involved in a bloody street brawl on Sunday
The video shared on social media reportedly showed the shirtless 29-year-old being led away from the incident by his younger brother Rocco
with traffic on the road having come to a stop
The Championship player had been at the Empress pub at about 8pm with his older brother
with multiple people claimed to have been fighting

Charley Hull got off the charter flight from Texas to St
The inaugural Black Desert Championship features 17 of the top 25 players in the world
one of the resort's ambassadors and a noted fitness junkie
making it already one of the easiest and most enjoyable stops on tour before they even hit a shot
but you've got to be picky with what clubs you need off the tee
I think I've only hit like about four drivers out there
but it's a good challenge of a golf course
Hull missed the cut last week at the Chevron Championship but felt like she wasn't far off
noting that she struggled with driver in the opening round
Hull told her caddie on the 17th tee that if she could finish birdie
with the ball finishing 6 feet from the pin
She missed the putt and moved on to the par-5 18th
where her caddie asked how she'd like to lay up
it like lipped 'round the hole for albatross
Five of the nine winners on tour year are in the field, including last week's champion, Mao Saigo, who outlasted four players in the largest playoff in LPGA major championship history
Saigo enjoyed a champion's dinner in the clubhouse at The Club at Carlton Woods before heading over to Utah on the charter flight
"I can't still believe that I won a major tournament," said Saigo through an interpreter
new tournament this week and trying to switch my mentality for the week."
the PGA Tour hosted its own Black Desert Championship
It's the only course in the country that hosts both tours
the LPGA's first stop in Utah since 1964 suits her style
"I'm very much an outdoorsy kind of person," said Hull
Knight was sin-binned for a dangerous charge on Sam Hewitt in the last action of the first period
In a post-match conversation with Hull Live
"There was a total lack of discipline..
"That's the thing I can't get my head around; it was the very last tackle before half-time." Cartwright also criticized Knight by saying
"Whatever the man's reasons for doing this
whether he had enough sugar and did not wish to take any more and whether he wished to make his mark in some way
The coach also expressed his dissatisfaction with the performance of the team by stating
"I just think there was plenty of frustration with the way we were playing..
but I don't have an excuse for you; to be honest
Cartwright also revealed that winger Harvey Barron reinjured himself in the hip during the game
and the injury's degree of the injury is unknown
"He has a problem with his hip…we shall consult the team of doctors and see what next to do."
This incident and the performance have raised questions about the discipline of this team
which Cartwright has noted requires attention
Solving these concerns will be important for the team in future encounters in each fixture
Manufacturer Incat built Hull 096 to run between Buenos Aires and Uruguay
dubbing it the ‘most complex’ project it has ever undertaken
An Australian boatbuilder has launched what it describes as the world’s largest battery-power ship
describing it as a “a giant leap forward in sustainable shipping” and the “most important” project it has ever done
Incat, a manufacturer based in Tasmania
constructed the ship – called Hull 096 – after being contracted by the South American ferry operator Buquebus to build a vessel to run between the Argentinian capital
Launching the ship in Hobart on Friday, the company said it would operate entirely on battery-electric power, carrying up to 2,100 passengers and 225 vehicles across the River Plate, which forms the border between Argentina and Uruguay. .

and most important project we’ve ever delivered,” the chairman of Incat
Clifford said Incat hoped to build “as many sustainable ships as possible for the global market
Hull 096 was not only the largest electric ship in the world
but also “the largest electric vehicle of its kind ever built”

Incat said the energy storage system was connected to eight electric-driven water jets and its capacity is four times larger than any previous maritime installation
low-emission transport solutions are not only possible
they are ready now,” Incat’s chief executive
The global shipping industry accounts for 3% of the world’s annual emissions, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development

a lecturer in sustainability and urban planning at RMIT University
said because the new ship would service a regular ferry route
it could be a “good use case” to monitor what was effective in shipping electrification
“That is something that seems like a good use case and a good way to find what works and what doesn’t in terms of electric vehicle shipping,” he said
“Using that to learn how we effectively do electric shipping could act as a stepping stone towards container ships and cargo ships.”
— A $37 million infrastructure improvement project along Hull Street Road is scheduled to begin on the city’s Southside Monday
Richmond’s Department of Public Works predicts crews will work for two years transforming Hull Street Road between Hey and Warwick roads using a combination of federal Smart Scale and Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funds
The city said the construction will focus on multimodal safety
Key features of the projectinclude street lighting
The project will add a new pavement overlay and widening
all sit along the corridor between Hey and Warwick roads
CBS 6 saw several pedestrians essentially playing a game of Frogger as they dodged traffic while attempting to cross the four lanes without a crosswalk
Those pedestrians are forced to queue in a narrow median before dashing across the busy road
individuals walk along a narrow gravel shoulder to reach their destination
“We’ve seen a lot of car accidents and people getting hit by cars and stuff like that coming up and down this area,” said Antoine Young
“I’m hoping that [the project] saves lives and they put in sidewalks.”
According to a study conducted by the city
13% of residents and surrounding block groups on Hull Street Road do not own a vehicle
“Poor lighting and minimal street activity threaten personal safety and comfort” and “vehicles routinely exceed posted speeds.”
Page 25 of the city’s study shows “the overall image of the corridor is generally uninviting (even hostile) to travelers and potential investors.”
This project will create a multimodal transportation corridor featuring a shared-use path designed to safely accommodate cyclists and pedestrians while improving traffic flow and access for all users

Hull FC star Liam Knight has avoided a charge from the Match Review Panel despite being the only player shown a red card at Magic Weekend
Knight was dismissed in the closing stages of the first half during Sunday afternoon’s loss for the Black and Whites against Huddersfield Giants
He made contact with Huddersfield’s Sam Hewitt
was sent to the sin-bin for a dangerous tackle on Giants forward Matty English
Knight’s red card prompted a huge reaction from Hull’s player on the field but his coach
described the moment as ‘dumb’ post-match
the Match Review Panel have decided that the forward should face no further action for his tackle
with a sending off deemed to be sufficient punishment
They acknowledged that Knight’s contact was ‘reckless’ – but contact with the head was ‘secondary and minimal’
They wrote: “Player comes in a reckless manner however contact is mainly all on the body and contact with the head is secondary and minimal
Player comes in front and arm is loose ready to wrap but impact of contact takes opponent away.”
That summary will prompt a major debate as to why Knight was sent off in the first place given how it was reviewed at great length
It will be the latest decision to cause a huge reaction from supporters
is now free to play in Hull’s next fixture after being cleared of any further punishment
