STANFORD STANFORD WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

Atlantic Coast ConferenceD1-FBSwinter

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Kate Paye's Stanford squad navigated a challenging 16-11 record during the regular season while averaging 69.3 points per game at a venue with deep basketball tradition in Maples Pavilion. The Cardinal secured 11 wins at home versus 5 on the road, reflecting the significant advantage of playing in front of home crowds within the Atlantic Coast Conference's competitive landscape. With a 3-6 conference record, Stanford faced the rigorous scheduling demands of transitioning into the ACC while maintaining a roster of 15 players serving the program established at the university founded in 1891.

Defensive intensity characterized Paye's approach, with opponents limited to 62.0 points per game—a 7.3-point differential favoring the Cardinal. The 17,529-student institution brought both academic and athletic expectations to women's basketball, balancing high-level competition against conference opponents with the traditional standards of Stanford athletics. Despite the away-game struggles at 5-5, the program demonstrated resilience in conference play while establishing foundational elements under Paye's direction in the ACC's first season featuring Stanford women's basketball at this competitive level.
