Alanna Smith’s career day was about more than just basketball for her.

Sure, Stanford celebrated the Australian forward’s brilliance on the Maples Pavilion court Sunday in an 85-64 victory against Washington State that helped Hall of Fame head coach Tara VanDerveer reach 900 wins in 33 seasons at the school. But the Cardinal also supported survivors of human trafficking after Smith organized an awareness day on the issue.

Smith scored 34 points in No. 6 Stanford’s 20th straight home victory and the school’s first Human Trafficking Awareness Game. She shot 13-for-17 with four 3-pointers and also had 15 rebounds — one off her career best — in her third 30-point performance of the season.

“I didn’t plan to have it on this day, just, I was just hoping to do it at some point in this season,” she said of the awareness game. “But to have a big crowd and to win a huge game and to play well, it means a lot. I’m not just about basketball, and that’s our whole team, too. Our whole team is really caring and we love to give back, and as athletes, that’s something I think is really important to do. I’m really happy this day kind of came together.”

Stanford (16-1, 6-0 Pac-12) is off to the program’s best start since beginning 22-1 in 2013-14. Washington State (7-11, 2-5) lost for the fifth time in six games.

Along with VanDerveer’s milestone, Maples Pavilion also celebrated survivors of human trafficking thanks to Smith’s leadership in planning the event.

“That’s kind of Alanna as a quintessential Stanford student,” VanDerveer said. “She’s not just about basketball, she’s not just about academics, she’s into her studies and I think it’s a great statement that she cares about more than just dribbling and shooting.”

VanDerveer became the fifth Division I men’s or women’s coach to reach 900 victories at one school, joining late Tennessee women’s coach Pat Summitt (1,098), UConn women’s coach Geno Auriemma (1,043), Duke men’s coach Mike Krzyzewski (1,042) and Syracuse men’s coach Jim Boeheim (1,040).
