VanDerveer earns 1,202nd win to tie Coach K's all-time NCAA record - ESPN

Stanford women's coach Tara VanDerveer got her 1,202nd victory Friday, tying her with former Duke men's coach Mike Krzyzewski for the most college coaching wins in NCAA history.

VanDerveer's No. 8 Cardinal beat Oregon 88-63 at Stanford's Maples Pavilion despite losing star post player Cameron Brink to a knee injury in the first quarter. Brink, who leads Stanford in points, rebounds and blocked shots, left the court but came back to the bench in the first half. She did not play the rest of the game, finishing with 6 points.

Vanderveer said there was no official injury update on Brink, but the senior did give her coach a hug, lifting her off the ground, when the game was over as the Cardinal players celebrated the milestone.

«It's a tribute to the great teams I've had, the great places I've worked,» VanDerveer told the Pac-12 Network. «It's been really exciting because so many people have reached out to me. It's great for women's basketball that there's a lot of attention. I work at a great place, and I have so much support.»

With Brink out most of the game, junior forward Kiki Iriafen led Stanford with 21 points and 15 rebounds. Iriafen said it was thrilling to be part of history with VanDerveer.

«Sometimes I can take it for granted because I see her every day,» Iriafen told ESPN. «But she's really been someone who's changed the game. So it's an honor to play for her. Every day, I learn something from her.»

VanDerveer has a chance to become the all-time leader on Sunday, when Stanford, 16-2, is host to Oregon State at 5 p.m. ET. The Beavers won 71-64 at Cal on Friday to move to 15-2. The challenge Oregon State presents is what VanDerveer is most focused on, as Stanford looks to stay atop the Pac-12. The Cardinal are tied
