Bears Fall At No. 3 Stanford

Michelle Onyiah Paces Cal With 12 Points

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) Kiki Iriafen had 23 points and 11 rebounds, powering a balanced attack and leading No. 3 Stanford past California 84-49 on Friday night for the Cardinal's 11th straight victory in the Bay Area rivalry.
 
Cameron Brink contributed 14 points and the nation's leader in blocked shots had four more for the Cardinal (23-3, 12-2 Pac-12), who won their fourth straight since a 67-58 loss to 15th-ranked USC that ended a 12-0 start at home.
 
Ugonne Onyiah scored 12 points to lead Cal (15-11, 5-9), which never got in sync against the more fast-paced Stanford attack. Leilani McIntosh was held to six points, which left her just one point shy of 1,000 for her career.
 
Marta Suarez scored five straight points during a 7-0 Cal run in the first as the Golden Bears stayed close early.
 
Iriafen shot 10 for 13 while Hannah Jump went 6 for 7 for 14 points. Elena Bosgana scored 12 and Brooke Demetre had 11 as Stanford continued its domination in the series with the average margin of victory at 25.8 points during the 11-game unbeaten run.
 
Cal leading scorer Ioanna Krimili was held to two points on 1-for-5 shooting, below her 15.9 scoring average.
 
The game marked the Bay Area programs' final regular-season meeting as members of the Pac-12 Conference before both schools join the Atlantic Coast Conference next season.
