Another team victory

Stanford defeated NAIA national champion Vanguard 87-41 in their second exhibition game. Vanguard is a small, but fast and scrappy team. They gave the Cardinal some valuable practice in breaking the press.

This victory, as last week's, was a team effort:
  • Sarah had the first double-double of the [pre]season -- 13 points and 10 rebounds.

  • Jayne led all scorers with 20 points and also had eight rebounds and four blocks.

  • Jillian led the defense with 12 rebounds and also had eight points.

  • Nneka had 16 points, five rebounds and three steals.

  • Michelle had 14 points and four rebounds

  • Mel kept everyone hustling with nine assists (just two turnovers) and a steal

  • Jeanette neared a triple-double with eight points, seven assists and six rebounds.

Morgan had a less strenuous workout tonight. There were just four three-pointers, two from Lindy and two from Jeanette.

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

It was reported in the postgame media session that Kayla rested a nagging ankle injury and JJ had a sore foot. Their status for the game next Friday against Minnesota is uncertain.
