Tara said that it would be a hard game, that Oregon State is a very physical team. And so they are. But the Cardinal gave as good as they got. The teams traded a small lead back and forth for about 29 minutes, until the Cardinal finally wore down the Beavers and won 69-54.
Five Stanford players had double-digit scores: Nneka 10, Kayla 11, Jillian 12, Jeanette 12. Jayne led the way with 18 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and a steal — mostly in the second half.
Nneka contributed a lot. She played 23 minutes, during which she had six rebounds and three assists in addition to her 10 points. All that with just two turnovers and one foul. Tara said, "... she was just a real spark for us."
