BYU Womens Basketball Secures Victory Over Stanford, Advances to WBIT Semifinals
In a thrilling quarterfinal matchup of the Womens Basketball Invitation Tournament, BYU emerged victorious against Stanford, securing a 76-61 win at the Marriott Center. Guard Delaney Gibb led the Cougars with 27 points, including four three-pointers, and grabbed seven rebounds. Her scoring sparked a crucial 17-2 run in the fourth quarter, sealing the victory for BYU, now 25-11.
The game remained close through three quarters, with Stanford narrowing BYUs leads to as little as one point. However, Gibbs back-to-back stepback threes early in the final period shifted momentum in favor of the Cougars. BYU dominated rebounding (53-36) and points in the paint (38-26).
Coach Lee Cummard praised the teams unity and the energetic crowd, which he described as a sixth player. The win marked his most victories as a first-year head coach in program history. Teammates like Brinley Cannon (15 points), Lara Rohkohls double-double (10 points, 11 rebounds, 4 blocks), and Olivia Hamlins 12 points off the bench also contributed significantly.
BYU now heads to the WBIT semifinals in Wichita, Kansas, facing Big Twelve rival Kansas. Despite losing to the Jayhawks by 21 earlier in the season, the Cougars have won eight of their last nine games and feel confident in their ability to compete.
