Sophomore center Sara Hamson, the daughter of a former BYU star, will try to help Cougars take down Stanford in the NCAA Tournament

Stanford, Calif. • Sara Hamson gets it from her mom. The BYU sophomore post stands 6-foot-7 and is a key factor for the Cougars as they head into Monday’s NCAA second round game against host Stanford.

“He didn’t really play much,” Sara Hamson said of her dad, David Hamson, while laughing. “He has disappointed many intramural teams. He’s 6-8 so people make assumptions.”

No, it comes from mom. Tressa Spaulding is a legend at BYU. Go through the women’s basketball record book and she’s all over the place. Most blocked shots in a career: 494.
