Cardinal & White Scrimmage Saturday

STANFORD, Calif. - With the regular season set to begin two weeks, the Stanford women's basketball program will host its Cardinal & White Scrimmage on Saturday, Oct. 28 in Maples Pavilion. The doors to Maples will open at 9:30 a.m. and the scrimmage is slated to begin at 9:45 a.m. Admission is free.

Fans attending should enter through the northwest doors of Maples Pavilion. Stanford Athletics' Clear Bag Policy will be in effect. Open loge seating will be available throughout the venue. Free parking is available in Parking Structure 7, across Campus Drive from Maples Pavilion at the Knight Management Center.

Ranked 15th in the Associated Press preseason poll, Stanford returns four starters and nine letterwinners to a team that posted a 29-6 overall record a season ago and was regular-season co-champions of the Pac-12 with a 15-3 league mark. The Cardinal is led by a pair of preseason All-Pac-12 seniors in graduate student Hannah Jump and fourth-year Cameron Brink.

On the watch list for the 2024 Ann Meyers Drysdale Award, Jump was an All-Pac-12 pick a season ago, one in which she broke Stanford's single-season record for 3-point makes (100), ranked ninth nationally in 3-point field goals and eighth in 3-point percentage (44.1). Back for her fifth season on The Farm, she was one of only two players in 2022-23 to average better than 44.0 percent from deep while making at least 100 3-pointers and just the ninth major conference player to do that since 1999-2000. Jump heads into this season fourth among active players in career 3-point percentage (.421).

A preseason AP All-American, Brink is the two-time reigning Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year and coming off a junior season in which she finished second nationally with a school-record 118 blocks and was third in the country in blocks per game (3.47). The 2023 WBCA Defensive Player of the Year was also one of just two players to average at least 15.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game last season and recorded the program's first triple-double with blocks when she had 16 points, 11 rebounds and 10 rejections in a win over Oregon on Jan. 29. The nation's leading active shot blocker with 297 in her career, Brink will enter her senior season looking to become the 17th Division I player with 400 career rejections.

The 50th season of Stanford women's basketball could also feature some more history for its Hall of Fame head coach. Already the winningest coach in women's college basketball history, Tara VanDerveer enters the season 17 victories away from breaking Mike Krzyzewski's record to become the winningest coach in college basketball history (men's or women's). He finished his career with 1,202 career wins and VanDerveer begins 2023-24 with 1,186.
