Stanford overpowers Iowa State

Stanford's defense against Iowa State this afternoon was a thing of beauty. They absolutely smothered the Cyclones, holding them to a season-low field goal percentage of 29.6.

On the other end of the court the Cardinal went wild. They were led by Ros and Sarah, each with 14 points, closely followed by Kayla with 13 and Lindy with 11. Ros, who rooms with Lindy, thinks hitting threes has rubbed off on her. Today it was an epidemic. Six Cardinal players combined for 13 threes -- four from Ros, three each from Lindy and Kayla (!) and one each from Jeanette, Jill and Michelle.

The result was Iowa State's worst loss since 1994: 83-45.

Here are the AP game recap and photo gallery and the box score from Stanford Athletics and game reports from Palo Alto Online and GoCyclones.
