College roundup: Stanford upsets No. 1 Baylor women

Stanford snapped defending national champion Baylor’s 42-game winning streak Friday, winning, 71-69, when Player of the Year Brittney Griner missed a short turnaround at the buzzer in Honolulu.

Griner scored 18 of her 22 points in the second half, helping the Lady Bears rally from a 14-point deficit in the first half. Her shot at the buzzer bounced off the rim and Stanford celebrated the victory. It was the Lady Bears’ first defeat since losing to Texas A&M in the regional finals of the 2011 NCAA Tournament. Baylor went 40-0 last year.
