After an eight-day rest that followed a road win over the Texas Longhorns, the Tennessee Lady Vols weren’t able to pass a more important test. Holly Warlick’s team suffered its first loss of the year, a 95-85 home loss to the Stanford Cardinal.
This was Stanford’s first win in this rivalry in three years and only their third in Knoxville in history. The Cardinal pulled out this victory three days after a huge win over the No. 3 ranked Baylor Bears, moving them to 8-1 overall with their only loss coming to the Gonzaga Bulldogs. Meanwhile, Tennessee fell to 8-1.
