Kiki Iriafen was the star attraction for Stanford in the win over Iowa State, but she had plenty of help as Cardinal advanced to Sweet 16 against North Carolina State.
Nunu Agara jumped into the open arms of teammate Kiki Iriafen as the celebration began and everyone could finally exhale. The arena was rocking and Stanford had just survived on its home court to advance to the Portland Regional. How fitting Iriafen ended the night carrying Agara after the do-it-all Stanford star carried the Cardinal all game to reach the Sweet Sixteen again following last year's heartbreaking loss at home in Maples Pavilion.
