 She is significantly better than Coffee, and I'd take Prechtel over Fingall in a New York minute (though I loved Fingall's toughness).

I agree with your subjective assessment of her potential.  But right now, the stats don't lie. Compare Fingall's sophomore campaign to Prechtel's:

Fingall:    11.7 min, .45 FG%, .42 3PT%, 3.3 PTs, .69 FT%, 3.1 RBs, 1.5 F, 0.6 TO, .40 B
Prechtel: 11.2 min, .39 FG%, .33 3PT%, 4.6 PTs, .46 FT%, 3.2 RBs, 1.8 F, 1.0 TO, .78 B

Objectively, the player w/ the second stat line scores slightly more points and has slightly more blocks per minutes played, but she scores less efficiently from all parts of the court (inside, outside, and at the line), she's no more of a rebounder, and she generates more fouls and turnovers. And sophomore year Fingall was playing behind more seasoned bigs like Alanna Smith and Kaylee Johnson, as well as an upstart freshman (Dodson), so she had the same problem Prechtel does: perfectly adequate doesn't cut it when you have All-Conference type performances coming from the bigs ahead of you.

I do hope and expect Prechtel will get better and that her ceiling will be higher than Fingall's (esp. because Fingall was never really back to 100% after her ACL tear.). But on a team this stacked, I just can't fault a coach for pulling someone making rookie mistakes and shooting <.400 when they're 6'5"!

Do they have +/- stats for women's college games?
I'd be interested in seeing those numbers.

GoStanford.com game stats do not.
ESPNw stats do not.
StatBroadcast ("Live Stats" for Stanford) does.  I will say that people reported poor stats for some of the WBB games here, at least during the game.   Today's game vs ASU is here.  Their Stanford games can be found here.

Thanks for this link, MT - great stats site to draw on in the future!
