At the beginning of the year, most predicted a three-way battle for the Pac-10 title between Stanford, Washington, and Arizona.

It's beginning to look like the Cardinal won't have any real competition. Washington has not started well, and last night Stanford blew out Arizona. Stanford is now 6-0 in conference, winning by an average of 19 points.

"It was awesome,'' said Nicole Powell, who had 15 and 12. "Everybody was knocking down shots and playing good defense. I can't think of another half like that, especially against such a good team. It's not going to be like that the next time we play them."
