Pac-10 Women's Basketball | No. 11 Stanford hammers WSU

STANFORD, Calif. — Tara VanDerveer's reserves should be tuned up for their rivalry weekend with California, and her starters are likely to feel rested.
Jayne Appel had 16 points on 8-for-9 shooting in limited action, Jeanette Pohlen added 18 points with four three-pointers and No. 11 Stanford routed Washington State 102-53 Saturday.
On Thursday, the Cardinal overwhelmed Washington 112-35 for the largest margin of victory in program history.
"Our bench was huge for us this weekend," VanDerveer said. "In both the Washington and Washington State games, I was really pleased with how people finished out and obviously we started well."
The Cardinal (13-3 overall, 4-0 Pac-10) earned its fifth consecutive victory since losing at two-time defending champion Tennessee in a rematch of the teams' NCAA title game in April.
April Cook and Jazmine Perkins each scored 14 points to lead the Cougars (7-7, 0-3), who scrapped for 40 minutes but were plenty overmatched in losing their fifth in a row after a five-game winning streak.
Stanford — the eight-time defending regular-season conference champion — has this coming week to get ready to face its Bay Area rival, No. 13 California, next Sunday in Berkeley.
The Cardinal reached the 100-point mark for the third time this season. Stanford had 214 points in sweeping the Washington schools — but that wasn't its most explosive Pac-10 sweep. Stanford combined for 225 points on Feb. 21 and 23, 1991, in beating Arizona and Arizona State at home, the Cardinal's most in back-to-back games.
"It's a blast when you get to see everyone get in and play," Appel said. "That's what everyone works so hard for in practice. We know, being the starters, it's up to us to get that for them."
Michelle Harrison had back-to-back baskets during an 18-2 Stanford run that put the Cardinal up 45-20 at halftime.
"They're as good as advertised," said WSU coach June Daugherty, a former Washington coach. "Stanford is playing at a very high level early. Normally you see that kind of execution in February or March. Stanford is for real here and now, and that's scary for everybody else in the Pac-10."
Stanford improved to 47-0 against the Cougars, dating to the teams' first meeting Feb. 1, 1983.
