STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Cameron Brink had 16 points and 16 rebounds and No. 8 Stanford gave coach Tara VanDerveer her 1,200th victory, beating Washington 71-59 on Sunday to run its winning streak to six.
VanDerveer is three away from breaking former Duke men's coach Mike Krzyzewski’s overall college record.
Kiki Iriafen added 19 points and nine rebounds, and Hannah Jump had 13 points for the Cardinal (14-1, 3-0 Pac-12). Nunu Agara finished with 12 points.
Dalayah Daniels led Washington (11-3, 1-2) with 15 points. Ella Ladine added 12.
Stanford's front court got into foul trouble early as Brink and Iriafen picked up their second fouls early in the first half. Brink recorded her second foul at the 1:28 mark of the first quarter and Iriafen was called for her second on a push with under six minutes left in the second quarter. Both did not return until the third quarter.
The Cardinal got a boost from freshman Nunu Agara who scored 10 points and grabbed four rebounds with Brink and Iriafen on the bench.
Stanford went into halftime with a 35-30 lead.
A third quarter flurry from Stanford shifted the momentum in favor of the Cardinal.
Scoreless in the first half, Jump had 13 points in the third quarter. A corner 3-pointer from Jump gave Stanford a 58-38 lead with under two minutes left in the third — the Cardinal's largest lead up to that point.
With Brink and Iriafen back on the floor, Stanford held Washington to just 35.7% shooting from the field and outscored Washington 25-14 in the third quarter.
The Huskies cut the lead to 11 points in the fourth quarter.
