I've only watched Stanford wbball since the mid-2000s, so my knowledge is limited to players since then, so others will have to determine how 90s players liked Azzi, Goodenbour, Nygaard, Starbird, etc. would fit in, but a team just from when I've watched them would be something like:
Wiggins
Powell
Appel
Nneka
Chiney
Jennifer Azzi, Sonja Henning, Kate Starbird, Kristen Fokl, Val Whiting are all strong candidates for this list. Of the ones you mention, Goodenbour and Nygaard were very, very good, but not in the same class. Note that all the ones I've listed were 1st team all Americans, and IMHO they fully deserved the honor. Re Henning, who doesn't often get mentioned on such lists, for my money, she was the best point guard that Stanford has ever had, consummate play-maker and team glue. The 2nd best was probably Jamila Wideman. Both were players who made everyone else on the team better.
