STANFORD, Calif.—One year after suffering an upset loss to Mississippi in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on its home floor at Maples Pavilion, Stanford’s women’s basketball team barely avoided the same fate Sunday night.
The Cardinal, seeded second in the Portland 4 Regional, needed a career-high 41 points, 16 rebounds, and three blocked shots from junior Kiki Iriafen to get past seventh-seeded Iowa State, 87–81 in overtime.
