Stanford tops Tennessee

STANFORD, Calif. -- Finally, it was Candice Wiggins' and Stanford's turn in the long rivalry with Tennessee.

Rosalyn Gold-Onwude scored 9 of Stanford's 10 points in overtime, Wiggins sunk 1 of 2 free throws with 28.6 left and finished with 22 and the No. 5 Cardinal shocked previously unbeaten and top-ranked Tennessee 73-69 on Saturday night to end an 11-game losing streak in the series.

Tennessee star Candace Parker missed the first of 2 free throws with 30.5 seconds left after scoring the tying basket with 7.4 seconds left in regulation to force OT. Tennessee had a chance in the final 30 seconds of overtime but Shannon Bobbitt turned the ball over with 8 seconds left.

Wiggins scored Stanford's final 6 points of regulation but missed 2 free throws with 16.9 seconds left and Parker answered with the tying score on the other end, sending the game into extra time at 63 all.

Jayne Appel had 19 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks and freshman Kayla Pedersen's outstanding defense on Parker was a key factor in the upset.

Parker finished with 25 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals and Alexis Hornbuckle had 15 in the first defeat for Tennessee (10-1).

The Cardinal (10-1) won their seventh straight game and earned coach Tara VanDerveer her 699th career victory, and she will try to become the seventh Division I coach to reach the 700 mark in the Pac-10 opener next Friday against Washington State.
