STANFORD, Calif. -- Junior forward Olympia Scott (Los Angeles, CA) scored a team-high 15 points including 11 in the first half, to lead the No. 1 ranked Stanford Cardinal to an 81-61 exhibition win over the Slovakia Bratislava National team on Thursday night at Maples Pavilion.

Scott's 11 first-half points, together with 11 from junior Naomi Mulitauaopele (Seattle, WA) helped the Cardinal to a 48-32 half-time lead. Stanford never trailed and led by as many as 23 in the first-half (40-17) with 5:30 left to play before the intermission.

The Cardinal had four players in double figures, with Mulitauaopele scoring 14, and senior All-American Kate Starbird (Tacoma, WA) and redshirt junior Vanessa Nygaard (Carlsbad, CA) with 11 each. Nygaard also grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds.

Beata Renertova led the Slovakia Bratislava National Team with 20 points who trailed by 16 at the half but pulled to within 11 at one point in the second half.
