STANFORD, Calif. - Erica McCall poured in 18 points to lead four players in double figures as Stanford powered past UC San Diego 74-51 on Saturday afternoon in an exhibition game at Maples Pavilion.
Taylor Greenfield scored 14 of her 16 points in the second half while Amber Orrange notched a double-double of 11 points and 12 rebounds for Stanford, which shot 42.4 percent in the second stanza after connecting at just 29.6 percent over the first 20 minutes.
Kaylee Johnson also grabbed 12 boards, as Stanford owned a 46-37 edge on the glass. The Cardinal frontcourt was solid throughout the game, tallying 12 blocks, five coming from McCall.
Stanford repeatedly cashed in from the charity stripe, converting 24-29 overall and 20-25 during the first half. Meanwhile, UC San Diego was just 4-7 from the foul line.
UC San Diego, which finished 16-11 overall and 13-9 in California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) play, was led by Redwood City native Miranda Seto, who finished with a game-high 24 points on 9-14 shooting and 4-5 from long distance.
The Cardinal's biggest first-half lead came with 6:38 remaining after a jumper from Orrange made it 29-15.
UC San Diego crept to within 43-40 following a layup from Seto at the 13:32 mark of the second half. Stanford then ripped off a 12-0 run over the next five minutes to put the game out of reach.
Saturday's contest marked the first time sisters Tara VanDerveer and Heidi VanDerveer opposed each other as head coaches.
