PULLMAN -- Kelley Suminski's near-perfect shooting helped No. 9 Stanford maintain its perfect record against Washington State.
Suminski missed just one shot and scored 22 points Friday night to lead the Cardinal to a 90-69 victory which improved its all-time record against Washington State to 37-0.
Kristen Newlin, a 6-foot-5 freshman, had a school-record eight blocked shots for Stanford (10-2, 3-0 Pac-10), while Krista Rappahahn scored 16 points and Sebnem Kimyacioglu added 15.
Jessica Perry led Washington State (4-8, 0-3) with 18 points and Bianca McCall had 16.
The Cardinal shot season bests of 57.4 percent from the field (31-for-54) and 65 percent from 3-point range (13-for-20) despite the absence of star forward Nicole Powell due to a sprained ankle.
"They're just that good," Washington State coach Sherri Murrell said. "That's why they're the ninth-ranked team in the country."
Suminski went 5-for-6 from the field; Rappahahn was 6-for-8; and Kimyacioglu was 5-for-10. Suminski and Rappahahn both went 4-for-5 from 3-point range, and Kimyacioglu was 5-for-8.
In addition to their hot shooting, Suminski and Rappahahn set career highs for assists with 10 and five, respectively. Stanford had a 23-10 advantage over WSU in assists and hit a season high for points, but the Cougars played aggressively and matched their season high for points.
"Washington State has really improved," Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer said.
