No. 2 Stanford wins Pac-10 title by downing UCLA

Sun 14th, March 2010

Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Tournament MVP Nnemkadi Ogwumike had 16 points and 10 rebounds as No. 2 Stanford downed 23rd-ranked UCLA, 70-46, in the championship game of the Pac-10 conference.

Jayne Appel added 15 points and Kayla Pederson contributed 12 points and 11 boards for the Cardinal (31-1), who took home their eighth conference crown.

Jasmine Dixon scored 20 points before fouling out for the Bruins (24-8), who had bested Oregon State and USC to reach the final. Markel Walker added nine points, eight rebounds and three assists in defeat.

A 12-4 run ending just after the midway point of the first half saw the Cardinal take a 21-11 lead after two from the line by Ogwumike.

Following a Dixon bucket, Jeannette Pohlen's three-pointer ignited a 15-6 run to end the half. Melanie Murphy put the exclamation point on the run with a long-distance make and it was 36-19 Stanford at the half.

Pohlen drilled three free throws to put the Cardinal up by 20 for the first time at 41-21 less than three minutes into the second half, and UCLA was powerless to mount a comeback.

The closest the Bruins got from there was 13 points, on a pair of Dixon free throws with 7;15 left in the contest.
