STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Hall of Fame coach Tara VanDerveer won her 900th game in 33 seasons at Stanford as her sixth-ranked Cardinal beat Washington State 85-64 on Sunday.
Alanna Smith had a career-high 34 points to help Stanford get its 20th straight home victory. Smith shot 13 for 17 with four 3-pointers and also had 15 rebounds — one off her career best — in her third 30-point performance of the season.
Stanford (16-1, 6-0 Pac-12) is off to the program's best start since beginning 22-1 in 2013-14.
Perhaps even more impressive about Smith on this day: Along with VanDerveer's milestone, Maples Pavilion also celebrated survivors of human trafficking thanks to Smith's leadership in planning the school's first Human Trafficking Awareness Game.
