No. 4 Stanford Women Cruise Past Oregon
STANFORD (CBS / AP) -- Nnemkadi Ogwumike had 32 points and 15 rebounds to lead No. 4 Stanford to a 93-70 victory over Oregon on Thursday night.
Bonnie Samuelson matched her season high with six 3-pointers, scoring 18 points for the Cardinal (12-1, 3-0 Pac-12), who won their 70th consecutive home game and their 60th straight over a conference opponent.
Taylor Greenfield added 17 points for Stanford, which attempted a team-record 42 3-point shots—making 14. Chiney Ogwumike added 12 rebounds and nine points.
Deanna Weaver scored 16 points to lead the Ducks (9-6, 1-2 Pac-12), who have lost five of their last seven. Nia Jackson added 13 points and Danielle Love had 11.
Nneka Ogwumike needed less than 11 minutes to secure her third straight double-double and her eighth of the season. She had 17 points and 11 rebounds by halftime.
Ogwumike needs three rebounds to become the fourth Stanford player with 1,000 career boards. That should occur when Oregon State visits on Saturday.
Stanford used the 3-pointer as a weapon against one of the top 3-point shooting teams in the nation. Oregon entered the contest having attempted 158 more 3-pointers than the Cardinal.
The teams combined to make 63 of 149 shots, including 20 of 59 from long range.
The fast pace energized the Cardinal, who led by 21 in the first half before taking a 43-31 edge into the break.
