“You’re f------ killing it. Keep doing that. You’re great.” It’s nothing but love for Stanford’s women’s basketball team this season. benpickman with more
Stanford forward Cameron Brink looked on from the bench, having fouled out of her team’s February matchup against Oregon late in the fourth quarter. As she sat and watched the waning seconds of the contest, with then No. 2 Stanford clinging to a three-point lead, something clicked in her mind.
Over the course of one subpar outing against UConn in the national semifinals this past April, Jones, now a senior, went from a player who had never lost an NCAA tournament contest—March Madness was canceled during her freshman season, and Stanford won the tourney during Jones’s sophomore campaign—to one who likely has one collegiate run left. Weeks before that, the team and university had been reminded of life’s fragility when Stanford soccer goalie Katie Meyer died by suicide.
Try as they might, though, Stanford struggled to crack the Huskies’ defense. The Cardinal scored only nine first-quarter points and eventually totaled just 58, their second-lowest output since Nov. 26. Brink, having watched the contest again three times, cited the team’s shooting woes—Stanford finished 34.8% from the field and 17.4% from three-point range.
Players went around to one another’s lockers and exchanged lengthy embraces. Brink estimates there were 10 minutes of silence before some of the seniors spoke to the team or coaches shared their wrap-up comments. Her father, Patrick, says Haley was an inviting presence, no matter the activity. He recalls her always looking to include teammates as much as possible in drills and organizing games at school. She has been the same way at Stanford.. And through three full collegiate seasons, VanDerveer says Jones has “never really” shown frustration.
