Four players made it into the Stanford Women's Basketball record book this season. Six records were broken — three by Jayne, one by Jillian and two by the team.

Note: corrected 04/15/09: Jayne improved her career field goal percentage, but did not break the record.)

Jayne has 215 blocks in her career, which breaks the record of 201 set by Val Whiting (1989-93).

This is an interesting and impressive set of records. It shows the breadth of this team's abilities.

I thought I had seen somewhere that the former single game scoring record of 44 was set by Kate Starbird and tied by Candice.
