Nyree Roberts led four Old Dominion players in double figures with 19 points Tuesday night and the No. 4 Lady Monarchs stunned top-ranked Stanford 83-66, ending the Cardinal’s nine-game winning streak.

Old Dominion (8-1), playing host to the nation’s No. 1 team for the first time in 12 years, improved to 3-1 in games against top-ranked opponents. The Lady Monarchs also beat top-rated Louisiana Tech at Old Dominion Field House in 1982 and 1984.

Stanford (9-1) was denied its third 10-0 start. The first two, in 1990 and 1992, ended with the Cardinal winning the national championship.

Ticha Penichiero and Clarisse Machanguana added 16 points each for Old Dominion.

Kate Starbird paced the Cardinal with 17 points.
