Leading a 17-4 Monmouth team in rebounds while standing only 6-foot-2 and playing guard is certainly noteworthy, but Ivy Clark’s 6.2 rebounding average in 1980 was not his top contribution to Fighting Scots basketball.
Simply put, Clark could score. In 20 of his 41 career games, he poured in 20 points or more, good for sixth on the Fighting Scots’ all-time list. Clark accomplished that impressive feat in just two seasons, leading Monmouth to the Midwest Conference championship game his senior season, when he averaged 18.6 points per game and earned the second of his back-to-back first-team All-MWC honors.
A quick and explosive player, Clark used his slashing style to reach double figures in all but two games each season, peaking with a 34-point performance in a narrow win over Knox in 1980. In all, he scored 729 points, averaging 17.7 per game. An efficient scorer, Clark shot 49.4 percent from the field for his career.
