PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) -- Lauren St. Clair scored 18 of her 22 points from 3-point range to lead Stanford (No. 25 ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll, No. 24 AP) to an 83-67 victory over Washington State on Saturday.

Stanford (12-5, 5-2 Pac-10) recovered from an 85-83 loss at Washington on Thursday and has won 10 of its past 12 games. The Cougars (4-14, 1-7) dropped to 0-29 against the Cardinal.

St. Clair's 17 points accounted for half her team's scoring in the first half, which ended with Stanford ahead 34-23.

Washington State stayed close early in the second half before the Cardinal went on a 9-2 run to take a 50-32 lead with 13 minutes left.

The Cougars got no closer than 14 points behind the rest of the way.

St. Clair finished 6-for-8 from 3-point range for Stanford, which shot 70 percent from behind the arc (7-for-10) and 54 percent from the field (31-57).

Stanford's Bethany Donaphin came off the bench to score 13 points and grab eight rebounds. Carolyn Moos and Christina Batastini both added 13 points for the Cardinal and Milena Flores had eight points and nine assists.

Yvonne Volkman finished with 11 points, seven rebounds and three assists to lead Washington State, which also got 10 points and nine rebounds from Kelley Berglund. Romie De Anda added 10 points.

The Cougars shot 42 percent from the field (26-61) and 11 percent from 3-point range (1-9).

They shot only 27 percent from the field in a first half that saw Stanford start slowly, scoring its first basket after 4:34 of play.

"(Stanford) was off its game very early, and we didn't capitalize," Washington State coach Jenny Przekwas said. "Those opportunities don't come along very often against a good team."
