Jeanette shines

Jeanette was the one to step up her game this time. She scored a game-high and career-high 20 points, including three of five three-pointers and five of six free throws. She also had four blocks and four assists. "I was really pleased with how Jeanette came in and gave us a spark," said Tara.

Michelle Smith (San Francisco Chronicle) reports that the easy win against Washington (77-42) was a tune-up for Stanford, a chance to vary lineups in search of potent combinations and give starters a chance to rest.

Rick Eymer (Palo Alto Online) focuses on Candice's ascent of the Stanford career scoring record. She played 32 minutes (well, that's 8 minutes of rest) and scored 12 points, enough for her to jump ahead of Nicole Powell into third place. She needs nine points to ease past Val Whiting for second place before setting her sights on Kate Starbird's record 2,215.

David Bush (Seattle Times) reports that the Washington women's basketball team did almost everything it set out to do against second-ranked Stanford on Sunday afternoon. But against the Cardinal you have to do everything and then some.

Here are the AP game recap, photo gallery and the box score from Stanford Athletics.
