# List of NCAA Division I women's basketball career 3-point scoring leaders

A three-point field goal (also known as a "three-pointer" or "3-pointer") is a field goal in a basketball game, made from beyond the three-point line, a designated arc radiating from the basket. A successful attempt is worth three points, in contrast to the two points awarded for shots made inside the three-point line. The members on this list are the top 25 in 3-point field goals made in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I women's competition. The statistic was first recognized in the 1987–88 season, when 3-point field goals were officially instituted by the NCAA for women's play. From the 1987–88 season through the 2007–08 season, the three-point perimeter was marked at 19 ft 9 in (6.02 m) for both men's and women's college basketball. On May 3, 2007, the NCAA men's basketball rules committee passed a measure to extend the distance of the men's three-point line back to 20 ft 9 in (6.32 m); the women's line remained at the original distance until it was moved to match the then-current men's distance effective in 2011–12. On June 5, 2019, the NCAA men's rules committee voted to extend the men's three-point line to the FIBA distance of 6.75 meters (22 ft 2 in), effective in 2019–20 in Division I and 2020–21 in lower NCAA divisions. The women's line remained at 20 ft 9 in until being moved to the FIBA arc in 2021–22.
Through the 2023–24 season, Caitlin Clark holds the records for career threes and three-point attempts, having made 548 from 1,452 attempts during her career at Iowa from 2020 to 2024.
Nine players on this list played in more than the standard four seasons due to benefiting from the NCAA's blanket COVID-19 eligibility waiver for players active in the 2020–21 season—Taylor Robertson, Kendall Spray, Katie Benzan, Ioanna Krimili, Dyaisha Fair, Taycee Wedin, Taylor Mikesell, Aisha Sheppard, and Georgia Amoore. All played in five seasons except for Krimili, who has played in six. She qualified for a so-called "medical redshirt" due to a season-ending injury early in her 2019–20 freshman season at San Francisco.
Six players on this list split their collegiate careers between two or more schools. Spray played at UT Martin, Clemson, and Florida Gulf Coast. Benzan played at Harvard and Maryland. Krimili played at San Francisco and currently plays for California. Fair played at Buffalo and Syracuse. Mikesell also played at Maryland before transferring to Oregon and later Ohio State. Amoore played at Virginia Tech and currently plays for Kentucky.
The player with the highest three-point percentage for her career on this list is Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis of UConn at 44.7%, while Shrieka Evans of Grambling has the lowest at 31.9%.
Five programs have placed two players in the all-time top 25—Ohio State with Mitchell and Mikesell, Idaho with Taylor Pierce and Mikayla Ferenz, UT Martin with Spray and Heather Butler, Maryland with Benzan and Mikesell, and Virginia Tech with Sheppard and Amoore.

## Footnotes

* ↑ Clark was eligible to play in a fifth season in 2024–25 due to the COVID waiver, but chose to declare for the 2024 WNBA draft.
* ↑ Spray's college career spanned six seasons, but she only played in five. After playing her first two seasons at UT Martin, she transferred to Clemson, sitting out the 2018–19 season due to then-current NCAA transfer rules. Following two seasons of play at Clemson, she took advantage of the COVID-19 waiver and changes to NCAA transfer rules to transfer to Florida Gulf Coast for her final college season.
* ↑ Benzan's college career spanned six seasons, but she only played in five. After playing three seasons at Harvard, she transferred to Maryland, sitting out the 2019–20 season due to then-current NCAA transfer rules. The COVID-19 waiver enabled her to play two seasons at Maryland instead of the standard one.
