The Cardinal's second game in Italy was considerably more challenging than the first one, but they eked out a two-point win. As expected, the Ducato Le Mura website published only the final score: 69-67.
Fortunately for Stanford fans, Jake Curtis gets some details from Amy. Read his game report here ... and find out why it features a photo of Ros.
The Cardinal's next game is tomorrow in Marghera, a suburb of Venice. Their opponent, the Marghera Giants, are in the same league as Ducato Le Mura. They finished fifth in the league last season, with a 17-9 record.
Their website's brief description of the upcoming friendly game contains some amusing Italian hyperbole:
- Stanford is a first-level team in the U.S. university landscape.
- Their strengths are guided by historic coach Tara Vanderveer.
- One of its players is promettentissima sophomore Nnemkadi Ogwumike. Neither Google nor my Italian/English dictionary could translate that, but promettente means promising, so I'd say that Nneka is superlatively promising.
