Nnemkadi Ogwumike had 22 points and 13 rebounds, Kayla Pedersen added 13 points and 10 rebounds and No. 2 Stanford rolled to an 80-43 win over Washington State on Thursday night at Stanford, Calif., though it might have been a costly victory for the Cardinal.

KiKi Moore scored 14 points to lead Washington State (5-11, 0-5), which has never defeated the Cardinal in 49 games in a series dating to 1983.

Ogwumike, who was selected Pac-10 Player of the Week on Monday, recorded her sixth double-double of the season.

Pedersen, who is second in the Pac-10 scoring race behind Ogwumike, had her fourth double-double in five games while helping the Cardinal outrebound the Cougars 58-35.
