"[It was] kind of scary and could've caused a pretty serious injury to me and knocked the wind out of me, but luckily my teammates kind of picked me up and got me off the court," Clark said in a post-game press conference.
"Their AD already came and apologized to me, so I really appreciate that."
Hawkeyes coach Lisa Bluder said she was disappointed that her players weren't able to walk off of the floor safely.
