We are entering into the most exhilarating month of college basketball. So far, we've seen tons of talent and a lot of range from some of the best 3-point shooters in the country — especially in clutch moments.
We highlighted the top five 3-point shooters in women's college basketball by the numbers this season.
Caitlin Clark, Freshman — Iowa
Caitlin Clark has put up jaw-dropping numbers this season, and she's only scratching the surface. The freshman guard leads the country with 596 points. Her deep range ranks her No. 1 in the nation in 3-pointers made with 87 triples so far, shooting 41.6 percent beyond the arc.
You thought that was impressive? Iowa's consistent shooter has totaled 30-point plus performances in games against Iowa State, Michigan State and Maryland, among others. Clark was 9-for-16 on 3s against the Terps.
Iowa's future looks bright with Clark as its offensive threat. Her stand-out performances has earned her five Player of the Week honors and 12 Freshman of the Week, which set Big Ten records.
Aisha Sheppard, Senior — Virginia Tech
Aisha Sheppard is an elite, all-around scorer, but her game beyond the arc took over this season. She's second the country with 85 3-pointers made and shoots at a 35.7 percent clip from the three.
One of Sheppards' notable games this season was against then-No. 2 NC State, helping her team defeat the Wolfpack 83-71 in overtime. Sheppard made four of Virginia Tech's 11 3s and finished with 28 points against the Wolfpack. Her performance was one point shy from a season-high she had against Notre Dame.
The Virginia native is the Hokies all-time leading scorer in 3s made, knocking down a career total of 304.
Katie Benzan, Senior — Maryland
Maryland's Katie Benzan is one of the most efficient 3-point shooters in the country. She leads the nation in 3-point field goal percentage shooting at a 52.3 percent clip. So far, Benzan has totaled 81 3s and is ranked No. 3 in the league in 3-pointers made.
Benzan broke a program record for 3-pointers made in a game with nine against Iowa on Feb. 23. Eight of those 3s came in the first half alone as she finished with a career-high 29 points to take down the Hawkeyes.

Ioanna Krimili, Redshirt Freshman — San Francisco
Ioanna Krimili is tied with Benzan with 81 triples this season, so far, which set a program single-season record at San Francisco. She's another freshman that you need to watch out for.

Skyler Curran, Junior — High Point
High Point is No. 2 in the nation in 3-pointers made behind FGCU with 262 3s overall. The Panthers' 3-point stat line is owned by back-to-back Big South Women's Basketball Player of the Year Skyler Curran.

So far, Curran has 446 points this season and has helped her team to a 19-6 overall and 17-3 conference record.
