Caitlin Clark was left wide open early in the first quarter and was quick to pull the trigger.

The Indiana Fever star launched a 3-pointer from well beyond the arc and nailed it to get the team off on the right foot against the Dallas Wings on Sunday. As she turned to run back on defense, Clark appeared to breathe a sigh of relief and mouth the word, “finally,” to herself.

Clark has been dealing with a shooting slump on top of injuries during her sophomore season in the WNBA. She came into the game shooting 28.9% from 3-point range and only 4-of-35 in her last five games. Indiana lost three of those five.

With Clark expected to play more minutes against the Wings, she came out with more confidence in her play. She ended the period with seven points on 2-of-5 from the field.

Indiana had 28-27 lead after the first quarter.
