Clark joined the Muskies coaching staff in 2020, coming back to her alma mater after two years of coaching in the Milwaukee area, including spending a year at Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference rival Alverno. She began her collegiate coaching career the year before as an assistant coach at Mount Mary University, helping the Blue Angels to a school single-season record 10 wins in the 2018-19 season.
Clark was a four-year starter at point guard for the Muskies from 2013-17, where she set the school’s all-time career mark with 340 assists. She scored 777 career points, and as a senior helped lead Lakeland to the NACC Tournament title and a trip to the NCAA Division III Tournament, the Muskies’ first trip to the national tourney in seven years. Her 113 assists that year rank tied for the fifth-most in a season in school history. Clark also ranks third in school history for career three-pointers with 130 made over her four years.
