This was the third game in a row for Stanford with 5+ players in double figures. I believe this is the first time that has happened at Stanford since before the 2009-10 season (if ever).  With so many scorers, we can have a player like Alex score 0 points and it barely registers a blip in the team's productivity.  It'll be interesting to see how this plays out this season.  For the moment, I'm much less scared of key players committing fouls than I have been in recent years.

That said, Lara Somfai is one of only 2 players in the country with two double-doubles against Division 1 opponents already. I might worry if Somfai fouled out.

Interesting! And well done, Somfai!

Also, a bit surprising re: the rest of the country? Is it a slow season for double-double machines? I feel like there are more of them usually.

(I don’t mean to diminish Somfai’s accomplishment in any way, I just am used to hearing about other teams’ star players lighting up the stat sheets early on in the season. Nice that the player making waves is on our team!)

A lot of teams have only played 1 or 2 games so far this season and there have been a lot of "cupcake" opening games for many teams. I suspect Somfai will have plenty of company once the fully D1 part of the OOC season is in full swing.

True but it’s not like Somfai has been playing a lot either.  She’s averaging 14 points and 10 rebounds in 22 mins per game.

Sorry, my point is that most top teams that would have posts who collect double doubles regularly have yet to play two D1 teams this season. In other words, I suspect there's a relatively small denominator of players who could even meet the criteria.

Edited to add: as an example, Raegan Beers has essentially averaged a double double over her past two seasons, but tonight is only her second collegiate game this season. I would be very surprised if Somfai doesn't have more company once more teams have played at least two D1 teams.
