One benefit was the Cardinal's fourth victory of the season, 76-51. Another is that they got it against 40 minutes of scrappy Aggie zone defense, an experience that may serve them well in future games.
The zone defense shut down Stanford's post game pretty well for a while, but Jayne kept fighting back and ended as the top scorer of the game with 18 points, to which she added nine rebounds, three assists, a block and a steal.
The Cardinal took advantage of the zone defense with eight three-pointers — three from JJ, two from Kayla, two from Jeanette and one from Lindy.

The Cardinal took advantage of the zone defense with eight three-pointers — three from JJ, two from Kayla, two from Jeanette and one from Lindy.
Kayla played the strong game we've come to expect from her — a double-double (17 points and 11 rebounds) in 36 minutes.
JJ and Nneka also scored in double digits. JJ had eleven points, three assists with just one turnover, and two steals. Nneka had eleven points and eight rebounds, in spite of getting into a bit of foul trouble and playing only 2 minutes.
Mel ran the point for ten minutes and had five assists with one turnover.
The five players who shot free throws were almost perfect. They hit 12 of 13, which is the performance that Cardinal fans have been hoping for.
