Nneka Ogwumike is an absolute Stanford legend. Four straight years, four Final Fours. She was the face of the league and the leader of its players’ union. At Stanford, she had 2,491 points and 1,226 boards.
Before Stanford was Stanford, there was Jennifer Azzi. The Tennessee native won the school its first national championship in 1990. She put the program on the national map. That Final Four MVP performance was simply iconic.
Candice Wiggins was the woman who scored 41 against Maryland to punch Stanford’s Final Four ticket. She is Stanford’s all-time leader in scoring average at 19.2 PPG and a four-time All-American.
Nicole Powell did everything. She was a scorer, rebounder, and the fifth all-time in assists. Powell even had six triple-doubles.
If the world thought Nneka was great, wait a moment because her sister is just as legendary. Chiney Ogwumike is Stanford’s all-time leading scorer and rebounder. She has 2,737 points and 1,567 rebounds. And she holds the school record for making 24 rebounds in a single game.
Jayne Appel is 6’4″ and kept shots away. She has 273 blocks, second all-time. Appel also pulled down 1,263 rebounds and scored 2,125 career points.
Kayla Pedersen is a name synonymous with consistency. No one logged more minutes in Cardinal history. Pedersen has 4,762 points. She has 1,266 rebounds and nearly 2,000 points.
Val Whiting helped Stanford reach two national titles in 1990 and 1992 and was a three-time Final Four staple. Whiting was sixth in career points with 2,077 and had 1,134 rebounds. Before the WNBA even existed, Whiting was creating history.
Cameron Brink came in during a pandemic and still helped deliver a national title as a freshman. Since then, she has become the Cardinal’s all-time blocks queen. She ended her career with 1,892 points and 1,223 rebounds.
