No. 4 Stanford women improve to 53-0 against Cougars

Associated Press
 

STANFORD, Calif. — Nnemkadi Ogwumike had 22 points and 10 rebounds, Chiney Ogwumike added 19 points and 12 rebounds and No. 4 Stanford shook off a sluggish start to beat Washington State 75-41 on Thursday night.

Joslyn Tinkle had nine points, eight rebounds and four assists as the Cardinal extended their school-record home winning streak to 72 games.

Stanford (16-1, 7-0 Pac-12) looked ragged in the early going before Nneka Ogwumike provided a spark, scoring 10 points in the first nine minutes of the second half. She then sat out the rest of the game, finishing 9 for 19 from the floor and moving into sixth place on the Cardinal’s career scoring list.

Washington State (9-9, 3-3) didn’t have a player in double figures and remained winless in 53 meetings between the two schools.

    The streak is not really sad anymore, its almost kinda humorous now.

    At least I understand this streak, Stanford has always been one of the best programs in women’s basketball……the streak against UW though, thats just sad and pathetic, especially since UW has been one of the worst team in the Pac 10/12 the last couple of years.

    Let’s see…

    - Nnemkadi Ogwumike had 22 points and 10 rebounds…

    - Chiney Ogwumike added 19 points and 12 rebounds…

    - Nneka Ogwumike provided a spark, scoring 10 points in the first nine minutes of the second half

    Wait, this isn’t STANFORD University, it’s OGWUMIKE University.
