STANFORD, Calif. – Thirteen players scored, five were in double figures led by Brooke Demetre’s 15, and nobody played more than 22 minutes as Stanford routed Morgan State on Friday night, 91-49.
Demetre scored all of her points in the first half and played just two minutes in the second. Tess Heal, who got her first start at Stanford, added 14, scoring 10 in just nine second-half minutes, while Nunu Agara had 11. Kennedy Umeh came off the bench in the second half had collected her first career double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds in just 11 minutes. And Elena Bosgana was efficient, scoring 10 points to go with six rebounds and six assists in 14 minutes.
Stanford (5-1) led by as many as 48 early in the fourth quarter in a game in which it shot 58.1 percent from the floor (36-of-62) and 41.7 percent from 3-point range (10-of-24). The nation’s leader in 3-point percentage, the Cardinal started 10-of-18 on triples (.556) before missing its final six.
Up 31 at the half, Stanford came out of the locker room on a 13-0 run that grew the lead to 44 and enabled its starters to sit. Heal had eight points during the spurt, which was capped by her second 3-pointer off a Bosgana assist with 7:35 on the clock.
In the fourth quarter, junior Lauren Green scored her first career bucket for the Cardinal off a feed from Harper Peterson, who had three assists.

Umeh is only the seventh power conference player with a double-double in 11 minutes or less over the same span, and first since Iowa’s Hannah Stuelke against Purdue on Dec. 29, 2022 (11 points, 10 rebounds, 11 minutes).
