Tia Jackson brought all her Huskies to Stanford, including injured reserves Sarah Mosiman (ankle) and Mackenzie Argens (knee). All except Mosiman played, but it wasn't enough to slow down the Cardinal, who came out on fire and continued so for 40 minutes. They defeated UW 112-35, the largest margin of victory in Pac-10 conference history.
At the end of the game, Tia said to Tara, "If you're going to play like this every game, you take it all the way to the Final Four."

- Six players scored in double digits -- Jillian had 14 points; Ros had 12 points and four assists; Nneka had 10 points, nine rebounds and 5 assists..
