Stanford returns 11 members from last year’s team, including 1998-99 First Team All-Pac-10 selection Milena Flores and Honorable Mention Preseason All-American Lindsey Yamasaki. In the 1998-99 season, the Cardinal went 18-12 overall, 14-4 in Pac-10 Conference play and made their 12th straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
