Stanford, Calif. • BYU’s women’s basketball team was able to hang with No. 6 Stanford for a half, but the host Cardinal proved to be too much, pulling out a 72-63 win on Monday night in the second round of the NCAA women’s tournament.
Freshman guard Shaylee Gonzales said, “Hello world” to an ESPN audience with a terrific all-around performance, leading BYU with 32 points, five rebounds, two steals and an assist.
However, for most of the night, Gonzales was a one-woman show on offense as teammate Brenna Chase missed her first eight shots from the floor, finally making her first shot midway through the fourth quarter.
