STANFORD, Calif. — Finally, it was Candice Wiggins' and Stanford's turn in the long rivalry with Tennessee.

Rosalyn Gold-Onwude scored nine of Stanford's 10 points in overtime, Wiggins hit one of two free throws with 28.6 left and finished with 22, and the No. 5 Cardinal shocked previously unbeaten and top-ranked Tennessee, 73-69, last night to end an 11-game losing streak in the series.

"I just want to say one thing," Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer said. "Tonight Candice is spelled with an 'i.' "

Tennessee All-American Candace Parker missed the first of two free throws with 30.5 seconds left in OT after scoring the tying basket with 7.4 seconds remaining in regulation. Tennessee had a chance in the final 30 seconds of overtime but Shannon Bobbitt turned the ball over with 8 seconds left.

Wiggins scored Stanford's final six points of regulation, then missed two free throws with 16.9 seconds to go and Parker answered with the tying score on the other end, sending the game into extra time at 63 all.

"The overtime game, I blame that totally on myself," Wiggins said. "I have to hit those free throws."

Jayne Appel had 19 points, 14 rebounds, four blocks and three steals and freshman Kayla Pedersen's outstanding defense on Parker was a key factor in the upset, Stanford's first win over Tennessee since an 82-65 victory on Dec. 15, 1996, in Knoxville — during the Cardinal's last Final Four season. Onwude had 13 points.

Parker finished with 25 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, four blocks and two steals and Alexis Hornbuckle had 15 in the first defeat for Tennessee (10-1).

The Cardinal (10-1) won their seventh straight game and earned VanDerveer her 699th career victory. She will try to become the seventh Division I coach to reach the 700 mark in the Pac-10 opener next Friday against Washington State.
