This might be fun and a trip down memory lane for some of you who have followed Stanford Women's Basketball for the whole Tara era.
I found the NCAA statistics site where I could peruse stats that predate those provided online by the Stanford Athletics Department, and for the heck of it I thought I would look to see how many Stanford women there have been who have attempted 100 three point shots and made 40% for a season. If we did not have anyone that year who accomplished that, I put the best shooter in parentheses.
The answer is:Â 15 have done it, but it is getting increasingly rare.
During Jennifer Azzi's freshman year there were no three point shots, apparently, or else no stats were kept. I suspect the three point shot was added in the mid 80s, probably heading into her sophomore year?
I have one question--there was one name that jumped off the stat sheet that I do not remember. Jamie Carey hit 45.5% her frosh year in 99-00, and then seems to have vanished. Did she leave the team after that year?
