Stanford University’s women’s basketball team will compete in the Resorts World Classic in Las Vegas following Thanksgiving. The Cardinal are set to face Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) and Colorado State over two days. Coverage will be available on FloCollege, with Tony Cordasco and Dixie Jeffers providing commentary, while Tim Swartz will handle radio broadcasts via GoStanford.com, the Stanford Athletics app, and Learfield’s Varsity Network.
Nunu Agara received recognition as ACC Player of the Week on Monday. Lara Somfai was named National Freshman of the Week by the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) on Tuesday. “Nunu Agara was voted ACC Player of the Week on Monday, and on Tuesday Lara Somfai was selected as the National Freshman of the Week by the USBWA,” according to Stanford Athletics.
The Cardinal currently rank 12th nationally in field goal percentage defense at .311 and eighth in scoring defense at 48.7 points allowed per game. They lead the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) in both categories. The team is also first in field goal percentage within the ACC at .490, which is 21st nationwide.
Over their seven victories this season, Stanford players have combined for 28 individual double-digit scoring performances—a figure tied for fifth highest nationally. The team has held each opponent under 60 points during these games, marking its longest such streak since the 2019-20 season.
Two freshmen—Hailee Swain and Lara Somfai—are each averaging at least 10 points per game, making Stanford one of eight schools with this distinction nationally. Somfai leads all ACC freshmen with three double-doubles and is tied for most double-doubles among freshmen across Division I.
Chloe Clardy stands out as one of only 47 players nationwide averaging at least 12.1 points, 2.7 rebounds, three assists, and 1.9 steals per game—all while coming off the bench. Nunu Agara averages 14.9 points and 8.9 rebounds per game—a combination achieved by only six other major conference players this season.
Stanford’s roster stability continues; it has just one transfer player—the fewest among all Power Four programs participating in NCAA women’s basketball.
