Samuelson is hot as No. 10 Stanford women crush Arizona 73-46
Because Karlie Samuelson — like her sisters, former Stanford sharpshooter Bonnie and current UConn star Katie Lou — have excellent shooting range, some people probably think their skill has some sort of genetic component.
Karlie Samuelson passed the 200-mark in three-pointers for her career in the No. 10 Cardinal’s 73-46 beatdown of Arizona on Friday night at Maples Pavilion.
The senior guard made 4-of-5 from beyond the arc, giving her 201 makes in her career, and scored a game-high 15 points.
Taking advantage of open looks and height mismatches most of the night, the Cardinal (16-3, 6-1 Pac-12) beat the rebuilding Wildcats (11-7, 2-5) for the 15th straight time.
Strangely enough, even though Arizona was called for 20 personal fouls, Stanford had just 10 foul shots.
“We had some stretches of great play, and then some stretches of turning it over and not taking as good a shot as we wanted,” she said.
Erica McCall and Brittany McPhee scored 13 points apiece, McPhee getting nine of hers in the first quarter.
