Meet them in St. Louis

Dozens of fans, new and old, gathered at Maples Pavilion at noon Thursday to give the Stanford women's basketball team a spirited send-off as the players and coaches got ready to depart for St. Louis, where this year's women's NCAA Final Four will be held.
Head coach Tara VanDerveer and several seniors on the team thanked the crowd, whose cheers and chants were caught on film for a video that Stanford Athletics plans to feature on the university's channel on YouTube. The Lady Cardinal faces the Connecticut Huskies on Sunday, April 5, starting at 6:30 p.m.
