Stanford seniors Cameron Brink and Hannah Jump huddle with teammates after Cardinal’s 81-67 win over Arizona State during a NCAA Pac 12 women’s basketball game at Maples Pavilion in Stanford, Calif., on Sunday, Feb. 25, 2024. Stanford forward Cameron Brink reacts during the second half of the team’s first-round college basketball game against Norfolk State in the women’s NCAA Tournament in Stanford, Calif., Friday, March 22, 2024.
N.C. State coach Wes Moore joked about being a bit relieved that Brink was moving on — because next season Stanford is headed to the ACC, part of the conference realignment that collapsed the Pac-12 last summer. “The first conversation I had , I wasn’t in the room with actually,” VanDerveer laughed. “She came to summer camp, and my sister Heidi was running camp. Cam thought Heidi was me. That’s probably good because Heidi is nicer than me.”
