By: Joe Lami

The struggling Arizona Wildcats took a trip to Maples Pavilion on Friday night, and it was all Stanford, as the Cardinal defeated Arizona 74-47. After struggling the last couple of games, Stanford shot the lights out, finishing 51% from the field. Including, 47% from beyond the arc.

Bonnie Sammuelson led the way with 14 points, but it was Erica McCall that finished the night with the double double, as she finished with 13 points and a career high 16 rebounds. Brianna Roberson, also matched her career high in points with 12.

After Arizona took the lead to start the game 4-2, the Cardinal shot out of a cannon going on a 15-0 run lasting seven minutes, to which they never looked back.

The bench was a high note for the Wildcats, as both Breanna Workman and Charise Holloway came off the bench to get into double digits. Workman led the way with 12, and Holloway finished with ten.

The win for the Cardinal marks their sixth straight, as it ups their record to 13-4, and 5-0 in Pac-12 play.  Arizona State completes their bay area trip with a contest against Stanford on Monday night.
