Caitlin Clark had words for Sophie Cunningham.
Caitlin Clark's Comment on Sophie Cunningham Has Fans Talking originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Sophie Cunningham made waves on and off the court on Sunday as she helped the Indiana Fever score a dominant 102-83 win over Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Cunningham registered 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting, to go along with five rebounds, three assists and two triples in 22 minutes of action from the bench. Off the court, the veteran slayed with her gameday outfit, which featured a daring halter-style crop top, loose-fitting leopard print pants and white platform sneakers.
Cunningham took to Instagram to flex her ensemble, as well as some of her favorite snaps from the Fever’s big win.
“you know what, HELL YEA FEVER NATION😏” she posted.
Caitlin Clark, who impressed with a 14-point, 13-assist double-double in her duel against Bueckers, was one of the first teammates to react to Cunningham’s post. The reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year dropped an excited comment referencing her eye-catching dime to Cunningham during the game.
“Touchdownnnnnnn. That’s that football experience baby,” Clark wrote.
The pass Clark was talking about came in the second quarter of Sunday’s highly anticipated contest. Clark got the ball back after blocking a shot on one end, which led to the 23-year-old dishing out a pinpoint full-court pass to Cunningham, who finished the wide-open lay-up.
DOIN' IT ON BOTH ENDS 🙌

Clark’s comment quickly grabbed the attention of fans on social media.
“I thought no way she's gonna catch that. I forgot about the football experience,” a comment on Instagram read.
“Fever football 🏈 we saw glimpse of it earlier this week 🔥” said another.
“You and Sophie could be quarter backs for the Colts as good as you both throw the football 🏈 🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏” a user posted.
“need you and Soph to help the Dolphins this season!!!! 😆 ❤️🙌” requested a supporter.
“ive seen enough, welcom back Tom Brady 🙂↔️” declared another.
“that was beautiful CC & Soph🥹” a reaction read.
Clark’s regular scoring explosions sometimes make it easy to overlook the fact that she’s an elite passer. These types of plays serve as a good reminder of the same.
As Clark said, though, Cunningham also deserves a lot of credit for cashing in on that beauty of a dime.
