Stanford's Tara VanDerveer Passes Pat Summitt's All-Time Wins Record by a Women's Basketball Coach

Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer passed the late Pat Summitt's record for all-time wins by a women's basketball coach following the Cardinal's victory over Pacific on Tuesday.

No. 1 Stanford topped Pacific 104-61, extending its undefeated streak this season to 5-0. The Cardinals outshot the Tigers 50.6% to 39% in field goals and made 78.9% of their three-pointers.

VanDerveer, 67, now has 1,099 career wins. On the men's basketball side, only Duke's Mike Krzyzewski (1,159) has more Division I wins.

After top-ranked Stanford defeated rival California on Sunday night, VanDerveer tied Summitt with her 1,098th career win.
