How did the Cardinals perform?

With the exception of two points from Charisma Osborne, the Cardinals led the Bruins to only 12 points in the first quarter of the match as they stormed ahead 13-4. Stanford started the second half on a 10-2 run, and they had impressive shooting stats of 9/13. With that momentum flowing through the game, they secured a statement victory.

Even though UCLA made significant improvements in the second half, their comeback attempt was in vain, as the game had already slipped away from their grasp. Even though Stanford won’t have the opportunity to play against USC or UCLA in the remaining regular season games, the upcoming Pac-12 tournament next month guarantees an exhilarating showdown against either of these teams, thus creating a highly anticipated and thrilling battle in the conference’s final season together.
