I knew about the Tara/Dawn Staley connection dating to the 96 Olympics--much was made of it when we played a home-and-away with them a few years ago.  We crushed South Carolina at Maples and Dawn invited Tara to come talk to her team after the win.

But here is a different connection I did not know about:

Stanford has won the NCAA title twice, but no one on the current team was even born when the Cardinal won their most recent championship. It was in 1992, and Stanford's toughest game during that tournament came in the national semifinals, when the Cardinal survived 66-65 against Virginia.  Leading the Cavaliers then was senior guard Dawn Staley; that loss ended her college career.
