KNOXVILLE – Tennessee’s Lady Volunteers knew what Stanford was going to do Tuesday.

They still couldn’t stop it.

The eighth-ranked Cardinal knocked down 14 3-pointers and shot 55 percent from the field in a 95-85 win over the No. 9 Lady Vols in front of 8,051 at Thompson-Boling Arena. The loss made each team 8-1 for the season.

The Lady Vols never consistently were able to string together stops against the Cardinal, who were led by DiJonai Carrington’s career-best 33 point. The 5-foot-11 junior added 13 rebounds and was one of five Stanford players scoring in double figures. Alanna Smith and Kiana Williams had 16 points each, while Lacie Hull added 14 and Maya Dodson chipped in 10.

“They were tougher, more poised,” Tennessee coach Holly Warlick said. “We lacked attention to detail; we knew they were going to shoot the 3 and we gave up 14 (made 3s). We didn’t rebound the basketball. We just lacked a sense of urgency; we were beat in every position, and we didn’t play very well today.”
