Stanford Women's Basketball Showing Early Success From Deep

Promising Start for Cardinal

The Stanford Cardinal women's basketball team has enjoyed a strong start to their season, particularly in the area of three-point shooting.

Sharp-Shooting Cardinal

Led by junior guard Haley Jones, the Cardinal are shooting an impressive 40.5% from beyond the arc, which ranks among the top 10 in the nation.

Jones, the reigning Pac-12 Player of the Year, has been a catalyst for Stanford's success, averaging 4.0 three-pointers per game while shooting 55.6% from deep.

Balanced Attack

In addition to Jones, several other Cardinal players have made significant contributions from three-point range.

Freshman guard Talana Lepolo has shown promise, hitting 3.3 three-pointers per game on 46.7% shooting.

Senior forward Fran Belibi is another weapon for Stanford, connecting on 2.0 three-pointers per game at a 45.5% clip.

Impact on Wins

Stanford's strong three-point shooting has played a significant role in their 7-1 record to start the season.

In their seven wins, the Cardinal have averaged 10.4 three-pointers per game while shooting 42.5% from deep.

In their lone loss, a narrow 72-69 defeat to No. 10 Creighton, Stanford made just 6-of-27 three-pointers (22.2%).

Outlook for the Season

The Cardinal's early success from three-point range bodes well for their chances in the Pac-12 and beyond.

If they can maintain their current shooting prowess, Stanford has the potential to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.

With Jones leading the charge and a number of other contributors capable of hitting shots from deep, the Cardinal are poised to continue their winning ways.
