Tara VanDerveer gets 1099 wins to pass Pat Summitt

Well, she got it. And she aptly got it in the style she was probably most comfortable with, no fanfare, big speeches or packed fans hanging on her every word. We, or course, are talking about Stanford head coach Tara VanDerveer setting the all time career women's basketball wins, surpassing the legendary Pat Summitt.

In an empty gym at the University of Pacific, albeit televised on ESPN2, the Stanford Women's Basketball team beat UoP by the score of 104-61 (making this the third time this season they have broken 100 points). With this win, she now has 1099 (and counting), passing Pat's record and just a handful of wins ahead of still active UConn coach Geno Auriemma.
