Arizona stifled Stanford in the post, so the Cardinal went to the perimeter and rolled to a 77-46 victory behind a barrage of 3-pointers. Jeanette and Lindy each hit four, Jillian and Mel each hit one, and Jayne attempted (but missed) one as shown in one of the photos below.
That wasn't the whole story of course. Stanford had 24 assists (a Pac-10 tournament record) to Arizona's five, and outrebounded them 49-26. Five Cardinals shot in double digits: Nneka had the game-high 15, Jeanette had 14, Lindy 12, Jillian 11, Kayla nine (OK, that's not double digits, but she also had the game-high 15 rebounds, seven of the 24 assists and zero turnovers).
Tara said, "We've been saving up our three-pointers and we brought them out at the right time."
