Cardinal crushes Cougars

The Cardinal kept the Cougars' two leading scorers in check, but couldn't stop Jazmine Perkins who made 78.6% of her field goal attempts and the game-high 26 points. But overall the Cardinal outshot the Cougars 56% - 39.4% and defeated them 98-67.

My game ball goes to Joslyn for her first career double-double (12 points, 10 rebounds). She made two of her three three-point attempts. She also had two assists and two steals. All this in just 17 minutes!

Jayne scored a season-high 25 points and grabbed 14 rebounds for her fourth consecutive double-double. She also had six assists, two blocks and a steal. The Pac-10 career record is hers with just 35 more rebounds!

Nneka had dropped below her 20+ pace for the past few games, but got back to it today with 21 points.

Jeanette appears to be getting her shooting touch back. She sank two from beyond the arc and scored 12 points in all. She also had three assists, a block and five steals.

Kayla was just a rebound shy of a double-double with 13 points and nine rebounds.

JJ and Mel are still hampered by their injuries. They each played just five minutes today.

For the first time this season, all of our reserves (except Sarah, of course) got some playing time.
