The team broke or extended four Stanford records and four Pac-12 records this season.
Two current players are in the Stanford record book – one for the first time this season.
Nneka made 965 field goals in her career, which breaks the record of 889 set by Candice Wiggins in 2004-08.
She attempted 718 free throws in her career, which breaks the record of 676 set by Candice.
She scored 809 points this season, which breaks the Stanford record and the Pac-12 record of 787 set by Candice in 2007-08.
She averaged 22.5 points per game this season, which breaks the record of 21.8 set by Candice in 2005-06
She made 307 field goals this season, which breaks the Stanford record of 275 set by Kate Starbird in 1996-97 and the Pac-12 record of 280 set by Jennifer Bennett (CAL) in 1986-87.
She attempted 230 free throws this season, which breaks her own record of 226 that she set in 2009-10.
She made 191 of those free throw attempts, which breaks the record of 184 set by Candice in 2007-08
Nneka retains the record for rebounds in a single game with the 23 she snatched from Oregon on Jan 23, 2010. She also retains the record for rebounds in a season – 376 – that she set in 2010. She didn't quite match that with 368 this season, which ranks third in that category.
Nneka also lost one record this season. At the end of her junior year, she had made 60.1% of her field goal attempts. That dropped to 58.3% at the end of this season, and the record reverts to the 58.6% set by Jeanne Ruark Hoff in 1978-83.
Nneka scored 2,476 points in her career, second only to Candice's 2,629, and grabbed 1,226 rebounds, third to Kayla Pedersen's 1,266 and Jayne Appel's 1,263. With those two accomplishments she joined Jayne, Nicole Powell and Val Whiting in the elite Stanford 2000 -point/1000-rebound club.
Nneka led the Pac-12 in scoring in her sophomore, junior and senior seasons. She's the first Pac-12 basketball player to lead three years in a row since Lew Alcindor in 1966-69.
Joslyn has been in the Stanford record book since her freshman season when she blocked six Oregon State shots on Jan 21, 2010. That placed her in a 6-way tie for second place in Stanford single-game blocks.
She blocked five shots twice this season – against Cal at Maples on Mar 4 and Cal at Haas on Mar 10 – which places her in a multi-way tie for eighth place in the category.
Chiney entered the Stanford record book this season by grabbing 374 rebounds. That places her second in season rebounds, just two short of Nneka's record.
At this point in her career, Chiney has recorded 655 rebounds – more than any other notable Stanford rebounder. At the end of her sophomore season, Kayla had 624, Nneka had 607, Jayne had 593, Nicole had 582 and Val had 548.
The Team attempted 42 3-pointers against Oregon on Jan 5 this year, which breaks the Stanford single-game record of 37 that they set against Kansas State on Nov 30, 2002 and the Pac-12 single-game record of 40 set by Oregon at Washington State on Feb 5, 2011.
They won 35 games this season, the 23rd in which they've won at least 20, which breaks the Pac-12 record of 22 they set last season.
They won 32 consecutive games this season, which breaks the Stanford and Pac-12 record of 27 that they set in 2009-10 and matched in 2010-11.
They extended the Stanford record streak of games won at Maples to 79 and the Stanford and Pac-12 record streak of consecutive conference victories to 78.
