A well-oiled machine

The Cardinal came back from their two-week layoff hard and fast and smooth, and defeated DePaul 96-60.

Nneka led the onslaught with 24 points, six rebounds, two steals and a block.

Ros played with ferocious intensity for 28 minutes and had her best game of the season – 12 points, including one from beyond the arc, five rebounds, four assists and a steal.

Jayne's first rebound of the game was the 1000th of her career. She joins Val Whiting and Nicole Powell as the only Stanford women to achieve that. She now needs just 138 more to break Nicole's record of 1143.

Five players scored in double digits – Nneka, Jeanette, Jayne, Ros and Kayla.

Five sank three-pointers – two from Jeanette, two from JJ, one each from Kayla, Ros and Grace.

Rust? Perhaps a couple of spots, but they wore off by the end of the game.
