The second-ranked Stanford women’s volleyball team swept Western Kentucky — 25-15, 25-23, 25-15 — in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday at Maples Pavilion. The Cardinal (29-3) advances to its 10th regional under 12th-year head coach John Dunning.

The win marked the 100th postseason win for Stanford, which leads the nation. Freshman middle blocker Inky Ajanaku led the team Saturday with 11 kills on 15 swings with just two errors for a .600 hitting percentage. She also recorded nine blocks, one off of her career high. Freshman Brittany Howard (Mountain View) added eight kills, eight digs and three blocks, while junior Rachel Williams tallied seven kills, five digs and five blocks.

Freshman setter Madi Bugg guided the Cardinal offense in the win, picking up 27 assists to go with four kills and three digs. Sophomore libero Kyle Gilbert finished with nine digs and seven assists. As a team, Stanford posted 15 blocks to just two by WKU (33-4). The Cardinal hit .349 in the match, while holding the Lady Toppers to a .125 attack percentage.

With the win, Stanford has advanced to the Berkeley Regional and will face No. 15 seed Iowa State on Friday at Haas Pavilion.

Women’s basketball

SPOKANE, Wash. — Taylor Greenfield appreciates the generosity of her teammates on the No. 1 Stanford women’s basketball team.

Greenfield scored a career-high 18 points, hitting six 3-pointers, to help the Cardinal beat Gonzaga 69-41 on Sunday.

“It really shows what kind of team we are,” Greenfield said. “When someone is hot we find them. They want you to shoot until the streak ends.”

Chiney Ogwumike had 21 points and 11 rebounds for Stanford (8-0).

Greenfield made 6 of 8 from 3-point range as Stanford shot 49 percent from the floor to overwhelm Gonzaga early.

The Bulldogs shot just 25 percent in the game, in which Stanford looked every bit the top team in the nation while Gonzaga bore little resemblance to the team that has made three straight trips to the round of 16.

The game featured a matchup of sisters Joslyn Tinkle, a senior at Stanford, and Elle Tinkle, a freshman at Gonzaga. Their father is Montana head coach Wayne Tinkle, who wore a shirt with “Gonzford” written on the front.

“It’s a special feeling for them to watch their daughters out there and at this level,” Joslyn said. “It was extremely fun.”

Joslyn Tinkle had 16 points and eight rebounds. Elle finished with two points and three rebounds.

Men’s basketball

Dwight Powell keeps getting better and showing he’s healthier than ever. That’s great news for Stanford.

Powell, who struggled with foot problems last year, scored a career-high 29 points in helping Stanford beat Denver 71-58 Sunday.

Powell helped the Cardinal (6-3) dominate in the paint, where Stanford outscored the Pioneers 36-20.

“One of our focuses has been to use our size,” Powell said. “Hit the post, look for the cutters and try to get some easy shots.”

Powell finished 10 of 13 from the field and made 9 of 11 free throws.

“He’s still developing but we’re beginning to figure out what we’ll get from him every night and he’s starting to find that consistency,” Cardinal coach Johnny Dawkins said. “He showed flashes as a freshman and now I think we’ll be seeing more games like this from him.”

Josh Huestis grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds, his second double-figure rebounding game of the year. He’s averaging a team best 8.1.

Swimming and diving

Stanford Olympian Kristian Ipsen swept the 1- and 3-meter springboard events at the Ohio State Invitational in Columbus. The Stanford women’s swim team won two races on the final day and was second with 815 points. Florida won with 837. Maddy Schaefer (St. Francis-Mountain View) took the 100 freestyle in 48.36 seconds, and Schaefer, Maya DiRado, Julia Anderson and Andi Murez won the 400 freestyle relay. Murez set a meet record in the 200-yard freestyle prelims at 1:44.83 on Saturday, then won the final in 1:45.16.
