To put it simply, Stanford (offensively) is not making other teams uncomfortable, except when stolen ball lead to fast breaks and scores or when Stanford's streaky 3-point shooters are having an exceptional night.
The current, relatively small lineup has had problems consistently scoring inside and getting offensive rebounds. Yes, Haley posted her smaller defender down low a couple of times, but Nadia plays mostly at the high post and (defensively) we remain vulnerable to other teams getting offensive rebounds- and scoring.
Despite having a couple of strong games and being one of the team's best rebounders (perhaps the best), Ashten continues to play limited minutes- typically 2 minutes in the first half and 2 minutes or less of garbage time near the end of the game. Earlier in the season, Ashten (arguably) was playing better than any of the other freshmen, and at times, dominating the paint on both ends. While she may have some defensive assignment and mobility issues, Ashten's consistent absence in the lineup prevents Stanford from making their opponents uncomfortable, and this will manifest itself when they play the Oregon schools.
