SEATTLE (AP) — It was only fitting that the season in which coach Tara VanDerveer joined elite company with her 1,000th career win included at least one championship trophy for Stanford. Having missed out on a Pac-12 regular-season title, taking the conference tournament by rallying from another early deficit was beyond rewarding for the Cardinal. The Cardinal (28-5) won their 12th tournament title, the most in conference history, and took the Pac-12's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Smith shot 6 of 14 and carried Stanford's offense with McCall, the team's leading scorer, held to eight points on 2-of-10 shooting. [...] the Beavers committed turnovers on two straight possessions and Brittany McPhee scored in the lane with 1:10 remaining for a five-point lead. Oregon State was trying to become the first school to win consecutive conference tournament titles since Stanford's run of seven straight from 2007-13. The Beavers played their third straight game without guard Katie McWilliams due to an undisclosed injury.
