Rewriting the record book

To Candice it's the team that matters, not her individual achievements. Nonetheless she is rewriting the Stanford Women's Basketball record book. She already owns these records:
Career 3-pointers attempted
Candice broke Sebnem Kimyacioglu's (2001-2005) record of 549 on Dec 18 at New Mexico. She currently has 597.
Career 3-pointers made
Candice broke Vanessa Nygaard's (1993-1998) record of 210 on Nov 22 in the Paradise Jam against Connecticut. She currently has 236.
Points per game
Candice started the 2007-08 season with a record 18.8. That has now dropped a bit to 18.6, but she is likely to remain the leader here; Jeanne Ruark Hoff (1978-1983) is second with 17.6.
Free throws made in a single game
Candice shares the record with Rachel Hemmer (1991-1995). She shot 16 free throws on Jan 21, 2006 against Arizona State.
The Cardinal will play at least 15 more games this season. They may play 22. If Candice continues the season at her current pace, other records are within her reach -- some more likely than others:
Career points
Candice is currently 76 points shy of Kate Starbird's (1993-1997) record of 2215. She is on target to break that record on Jan 31 against USC.
Pac-10 career points
Candice is currently 275 points shy of Lisa Leslie's (1991-1994) record of 2414. She is on target to break that record in the Pac-10 Tournament championship game.
Career free throws made
Candice is currently 24 free throws shy of Val Whiting's (1989-1993) record of 481. She is on target to break that record on Feb 5 at Santa Clara.
Career field goals attempted
Candice is currently 76 goals shy of Kate Starbird's record of 1634. She is on target to break that record on Feb 5 at Santa Clara.
Career field goals made
Candice is currently 105 goals shy of Jeanne Ruark Hoff's record of 828. She is on target to break that record at the NCAA Elite-8.
Games played
Sebnem Kimyacioglu and Kelley Suminski share the record of 136. Candice is on target to break that record at the NCAA Championship game.
If Candice increases her pace, these records could also be hers:
Free throws attempted.
If Candice continues at her current pace for 22 more games, she would be 4 free throws shy of Val Whiting's record of 666.
Minutes played
If Candice continues at her current pace for 22 more games, she would be 28 minutes shy of Virginia Sourlis' (1982-1986) record of 4148.
Career steals
If Candice continues at her current pace for 22 more games, she would be 1 steal shy of Sonja Henning's (1987-1991) record of 280.
GO CARD! GO CANDICE!!
