Stanford women's team is back to its joyful self after an early exit in the Pac-12 Tournament.
STANFORD -- Laughter and good-natured screams echoed off the walls of Stanford's locker room Thursday morning with NCAA Tournament preparation in full swing.
Top-seeded Stanford will open its NCAA quest Friday with a matchup against 16th-seeded Sacred Heart , which beat Southern 57-47 in a First Four game Wednesday night for its first NCAA win in school history. In Friday night's second game of the Seattle Region at Maples Pavilion, eighth-seeded Ole Miss faces No. 9 seed Gonzaga . The two coaches are plenty familiar with each other: Lisa Fortier was a Zags assistant when fifth-year Ole Miss coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin served on the Portland staff.
The Zags, runner-up to second-seeded Portland in the West Coast Conference Tournament, earned their sixth consecutive NCAA Tournament berth under Fortier and are a ninth seed for a second straight year. Gonzaga beat No. 8 Nebraska last March to reach the second round before losing to top-seeded Louisville on its home floor.
