Just curious has Stanford WBB ever opened 0-2?

Yes.  Earlier in this thread I posted:

Just checked our records.  The last time Stanford WBB started a season 0-2 was 1997-98.  We have quite frequently dropped one of the first two--Vanderveer often schedules one very tough game at the start of the season.

In 1997 we opened away at Wisconsin and lost 82-90, with 31 turnovers.  Then we went to Purdue and lost 68-78.  That was an ignominious year for other reasons as well.  Despite going 17-1 to win the Pac 10, we lost to the Stanford of the East in the first round of the NCAAs.  That year we had Olympia Scott, Vanessa Nygaard, Kristin Folkl, and Heather Owen among others.  I don't really remember the early part of that season--I imagine that Folkl was not playing yet due to Volleyball, and our guards all seemed very young (Milena Flores and Melody Peterson were sophomores, and I don't recognize the names of the other guards, mostly frosh.) Vanderveer played freshmen for stretches due to foul trouble.  It was the ONLY 0-2 start in Vanderveer's Stanford career.
