COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Dressed casually in all black, Vanderveer received the game ball after the final buzzer. Her dancing players chanted “Tara! Tara!” and gave her a new pullover reading “T-DAWG” to celebrate the latest milestone for the Hall of Fame coach in her 35th season on The Farm and 42nd overall as a college head coach.
Lacie Hull scored 17 points to lead the Cardinal (5-0, 3-0). Lianna Tillman scored 15 points for the Tigers (0-1, 0-1).
After the history-making win, Vanderveer was set to receive a plaque containing a piece of the floor from Stan
ford’s home court at Maples Pavilion. A framed proclamation from Palo Alto Mayor Adrian Fine was another memento.
Vanderveer, 67, improved her career record to 1,099253. Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma has 1,093 victories.
