Wichita State women’s basketball’s struggles continued on Friday, losing 87-39 to No. 11 Stanford in the second game of the Cancun Challenge. The loss was the largest margin of defeat under head coach Jody Adams-Birch, which before was a 46-point loss at Oklahoma State on Dec. 4, 2007.

Stanford forced the Shockers to 26% from the field and forced them to commit 20 team turnovers. The Cardinal dominated the glass by out-rebounding the Shockers 45-28 while shooting the lights out, shooting 63% from the floor.

The Cardinal quickly got to work by scoring the game’s first eight points in the opening minutes. Sophomore Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage drilled a three-pointer and knocked in a free throw for WSU’s first points, and senior Brittany Martin cut the deficit to two points with a jump shot after an offensive rebound by junior Keke Thompson. A three from junior Diamond Lockhart cut the deficit to two with under 1:30 left in the first quarter, but a three from Stanford started a 20-0 scoring run that extended the Cardinal lead 36-11 with 5:13 left in the second quarter.

Stanford would only allow four points for the Shockers in the second quarter, going up 46-15 at halftime. The Cardinal would only continue to heat up, outscoring the Shockers 26-8 in the third quarter.

After two quick baskets to start the fourth quarter, WSU responded with three three-pointers by juniors Jeliah Preston and Tamara Lee. Stanford would score BLANK points to hand the Shockers their fourth straight loss.

Stanford had six players score in double-digits, with the bench scoring 41 points. Brittany McPhee and Shannon Coffee had a game-high of 13 points each while Erica McCall added 12 points in Stanford’s fifth win of the season.

Preston led the Shockers with eight points, obtaining a career-high. Lee and Thompson both added seven points a piece while junior Angiee Thompkins contributed six points and grabbed three rebounds.

WSU (1-4) will play Northeastern at 10 a.m. Saturday to wrap up the Cancun Challenge. Northeastern is 2-3 on the season and scheduled to play Purdue at 1:30 p.m. on Friday.
