The Cardinal pulled away in the second half to win. Stanford, which leads the Pac-12 in both scoring defense and field goal percentage defense, held the Bears to just 8-for-33 shooting in the second half (24 percent). Layshia Clarendon led the Bears with 17 points. Point guard Brittany Boyd had a career-high nine rebounds.

The Bears are now 12-2 (2-1 Pac-12) with their only two losses coming to teams ranked in the top-5. Cal's next game is also against Stanford, this time in Palo Alto on Sunday.
