No. 1 seed Stanford held forward Cameron Brink out of Friday night’s NCAA Tournament opener against No. 16 Sacred Heart with what was described as a non-COVID illness.
Brink, a junior, is Stanford’s leading scorer (14.9 points per game) and rebounder (9.5 per game) along with averaging 3.4 blocks per game, which ranks third in all of Division I.
Brink started 20 of her 32 games as a freshman in 2020-21, when the Cardinal won the national title. In 100 games (87 starts) over three seasons, she has averages of 12.8 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per contest.
It is not yet known how long Brink will be sidelined. Should Stanford advance past its lesser-seeded foe, it would play a second-round game Sunday against either eighth-seeded Ole Miss or ninth-seeded Gonzaga.
