Ogwumike scores career-high 32 in Stanford's women's victory

Stanford junior Chiney Ogwumike had a career-high 32 points to go along with 18 rebounds in leading the No. 4 Cardinal women to a 65-45 victory over Oregon State in Corvallis, Ore., on Sunday.

The win improved the Cardinal's record away from home to 13-0, and Stanford remained tied for first place with Cal, which beat Oregon 72-45.

Ogwumike has scored in double figures in all 21 games this season, and posted her sixth straight double-double on Sunday.

Bonnie Samuelson and Amber Orrange also had productive games for the Cardinal (20-2, 9-1). Samuelson hit 4 of 5 three-point shots and finished with 12 points in just 11 minutes of action, while Orrange scored 12 points and added eight assists and three steals.

Less productive were Toni Kokenis and Joslyn Tinkle, who combined to go 1-for-13 from the field for two points.

The Cardinal shot just 38.5 percent from the floor, but made up for that by collecting 18 offensive rebounds.

Stanford jumped to a 16-point lead midway through the first half and was never seriously threatened by the Beavers, who slipped to 9-13, including 3-7 in the conference.

Stanford returns home to play Arizona on Friday and Arizona State on Sunday.
