The Cardinal aren't going to be pushed around

Freshman Kayla Pedersen had 16 points and 15 boards to lift Stanford.

Controversial finish? Sure. But don't let Candice Wiggins' winning free throws with a tenth of a second left in Stanford's 60-58 win over No. 3 Rutgers overshadow the real story line: The Cardinal aren't going to be pushed around this season.

Graham Hays (ESPN) writes about the New Season, New Side of Stanford.

Here is Scott Bland's (The Stanford Daily) Game Report and an Opinion Piece, which concludes, "Whether for right or wrong reasons, Rutgers women’s basketball is all over the news, and people know that it is a good program. Stanford just beat the Scarlet Knights on national television. People are going to be paying attention to the Cardinal after this."
