Stanford post Cameron Brink rises above North Carolina State’s River Baldwin for a shot in the first half of a Sweet 16 NCAA Women’s Tournament game Friday night in Portland.Stanford achieved its goal of getting out of Maples Pavilion but will go no further, as senior post Cameron Brink saw her career end in her hometown having fouled out early in the fourth quarter.
Stanford was just 4-for-22 from the 3-point line, with three of those from Hannah Jump. Two of those were in the first quarter. Trailing 60-49 with 8:10 to play, Brink picked up her fifth foul on a block and was done for the rest of the game. Not long afterward, Iriafen was whistled for her fourth foul with 6:47 to play down 63-50.
The Cardinal scored the last six points of the half to take a 37-27 lead into halftime, with Brink hitting jumper with 1:23 to play for the 10-point margin. Defensively, Stanford held the Wolfpack to 12-for-36 shooting and 2-for-7 from 3-point land with Rivers the leading scorer with eight. The Cardinal also had a 27-16 rebounding advantage but was occasionally careless with the ball with eight turnovers to just two for North Carolina State.
Brink made her first basket on a coast-to-coast drive following a blocked shot, but then missed her next six attempts. She had six first-quarter rebounds and three blocked shots.
