Sakima Walker scored 20 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for her third double-double in four games and Lulu Twidale hit four free throws in the final nine seconds as Cal extended its winning streak to three games with a 64-58 victory over Virginia at Haas Pavilion on Thursday.
The Bears (16-10, 7-6 ACC), coming off a trip that produced wins at Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh, led by as many as 16 points and were still up by 10 entering the fourth quarter before Virginia (17-8, 9-5) trimmed its deficit to 60-58 with 2:04 remaining. The Cavaliers went scoreless from that point, missing three shots and committing a turnover on their final four possessions.

Tabitha Manze scored 14 points to lead Virginia.
Virginia Tech 79, Stanford 67: Chloe Clardy scored 20 points and Lara Samfai had 15 points and 15 rebounds, but the host Cardinal (16-10, 5-8 ACC) were outscored 47-33 in the second half as they fell to the Hokies (19-7, 9-5).

Played on what would have been the 92nd birthday of Russell - who led the Dons to NCAA titles in 1955 and 1956 - the day's events included the unveiling of "The Bill Russell Way" on campus and the presentation of a posthumous honorary doctorate to Russell's widow, Jeannine Russell.
