Scott's 11 first-half points, together with 11 from junior Naomi Mulitauaopele (Seattle, WA) helped the Cardinal to a 48-32 half-time lead. Stanford never trailed and led by as many as 23 in the first-half (40-17) with 5:30 left to play before the intermission.
The Cardinal had four players in double figures, with Mulitauaopele scoring 14, and senior All-American Kate Starbird (Tacoma, WA) and redshirt junior Vanessa Nygaard (Carlsbad, CA) with 11 each. Nygaard also grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds.
