SEATTLE (AP) — Chiney Ogwumike had a double-double by halftime, finished with 23 points and 21 rebounds and No. 4 Stanford remained perfect against Washington State with a 79-60 win Friday night in the Pac-12 Conference tournament quarterfinals.
The Cardinal won their 15th straight and improved to 55-0 all-time against the Cougars. They will play either No. 18 Colorado or Washington in the semifinals on Saturday night.
Ogwumike’s skill on the interior overwhelmed the Cougars in the first half before getting help from her teammates in the second half as Stanford finally pulled away. It was the second 20-20 game this season for Ogwumike, who had 27 points and 24 rebounds against Oregon.
Lia Galdeira led Washington State with 16 points. The Cougars had coach June Daugherty back on the bench a day after she underwent emergency surgery to remove her appendix.
