In the record book, 2017-18

Although the 2017-18 team fell two steps short of its Final Four goal, it was, Tara said, "perhaps the most-improved Stanford team ever," and earned a good many entries in the Stanford Record Book:
  • Kayl earned one entry in the Stanford Record Book this season and ends her college career with two records and an additional 11 entries in the Stanford Record Book
  • Britt earned many accolades for her excellent play and academic achievements and ends her career with one entry in the Stanford Record Book.
  • Alanna has earned five entries in the Stanford Record Book.
  • Marta earned no entries in the Stanford Record Book this season, but retains the three entries and the Pac-12 tournament record that she earned in the past two seasons.
  • Dijonai earned one entry in the Stanford Record Book.
  • Anna earned two entries in the Stanford Record Book.
  • Kiana set one record this season and earned five additional entries in the Stanford Record Book.
  • Maya earned one entry in the Stanford Record Book.
  • The team unfortunately set two downside records, but earned 15 other entries in the Stanford Record Book.

Thanks so much to both of you, Marion and Dave, for all the effort you've put into the Fastbreak Club website this season -- and for so many years before this. You do a wonderful job and it is much appreciated.

It is so nice to be able to read about the team and what happened during games as we cannot watch many games here in Australia. Thanks for the passionate updates and accounts of the teams efforts, we have really appreciated it.
