LAS VEGAS — Haley Jones scored a career-high 29 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to lead No. 2 Stanford to an 83-50 victory over Washington on Sunday at the Thomas and Mack Center on the campus of UNLV.
The Pac 12 home opener for Stanford was shifted from Maples Pavilion on campus because of Santa Clara County’s ban on sporting events and practices for three weeks.
Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer improved to 1,097-253 and is two victories shy of passing Pat Summitt (1,098) as the winningest coach in women’s college basketball history.
One day after notching career highs with 25 points and seven assists against UNLV, Jones carried her momentum over and opened the game by hitting her first eight attempts en route to a 14-for-15 performance from the floor and the third double-double of her career.
Francesca Belibi and Hannah Jump each chipped in with 12 points for the Cardinal (3-0, 1-0 Pac 12). Jump also had a career-high tying four rebounds.
Quay Miller had 10 points to lead Washington (3-1, 1-1).
BIG PICTURE
Stanford: The Cardinal swept their two games this week, beating UNLV 101-54 on Saturday and Washington on Sunday, and are now poised to supplant top-ranked South Carolina, which loss Thursday. … After committing 22 fouls against UNLV, VanDerveer said she was not pleased and was an area she wanted corrected. The Cardinal committed only 10 fouls, while the Huskies were just 8 of 10 from the free-throw line. … Fifth-year senior Anna Wilson, the younger sister of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, got her eighth career start.
Washington: Freshman Tameiya Sadler has had quite a start to her collegiate career, as she hit the game-winning bucket in the season-opener against San Diego State, she scored a team-high 23 points in a win over BYU, she earned Pac-12 Freshman of the Week and then became the first Husky freshman to score 20 points or more in back-to-back games since Kelsey Plum (2013-14) did it numerous times, when she followed her performance against BYU with a 21-point showing at Cal. Things didn’t go as well in her first encounter with perennial power Stanford, as Sadler finished with 8 points on 2-for-10 shooting from the floor.
