The Pac 10: Stanford is the Champion

1. Stanford (27-3, 16-2) Won the Pac 10 Championship outright, Candice breaks the all time Pac 10 scoring record, not a bad weekend at all. Candice Wiggins broke Lisa Leslie’s Pac 10 scoring record as she had 46 points this weekend. She wrapped up what surely will be Player of the Year honors and for good measure had 6 assists against WSU. Jayne Appel had 7 assists in the win at Washington, where JJ Hones added 4 three’s. Stanford had 21 three’s in the two games.


2. Cal (24-5, 15-3) Lost to Washington to lose their share of the Pac 10 title. They now have the # 2 seed in the Pac 10 Tournament. Lauren Greif had 4 three’s against Washington, and Alexis Gray-Lawson had 17 points, 29 for the weekend. Ashley Walker had 21 points and 17 points and Devanei Hampton had 25 points and 14 rebounds in the two games.

3. Arizona State (20-9, 14-4) Swept the LA schools in LA to make the Dance and be the # 3 seed in the Pac 10 tournament. Lauren Lacy was the big scorer for the weekend with 25 points. Briann January scored 17 in the win at UCLA.


4. USC (17-12, 10-8) Playing without Nadia Parker, and for the NCAA’s, lost twice to the Arizona schools. Camille LaNoir scored 35 points in the two games, while Morghan Medlock had 16 points and 19 rebounds in the two games.


4. UCLA (15-14, 10-8) Beat Arizona and lost to ASU. Lindsey Pluimer led the Bruins again with 29 points in the two games.


6. Washington (13-17, 8-10) Upset Cal to cap a pretty good record despite their youth, injuries and turmoil.
Sami Whitcomb made 5 of 9 three’s for 24 points in the upset of Cal. Emily Florence, the 5’5” guard had 17 rebounds, 8 assists and only 2 turnovers in the two games.


7. Oregon (13-16, 7-11) Ellie Manou had 18 points and Tamika Nurse had 16 points to lead the Ducks over the Beavers


8. Oregon State (11-18, 4-14) Alex Mitchell had her first double, double with 10 points and 14 rebounds in the loss to Oregon. Tiffany Ducker had 17 points in that game.


8. Arizona (10-19, 4-14) Beat USC for a big road win, then lost to UCLA. Ashley Whisonant scored 28 in the two games. Ify Ibekwe added 28 points and 20 rebounds and Amina Njonkou had 27 points and 16 rebounds for the weekend.


10. WSU (5-24, 2-16) Lost twice to Cal and Stanford. Katie Appleton had 29 points in the two games.

A note, the 4 games in LA drew and average of about 800 fans. Sad.
