STANFORD – Kate Paye has a tall task ahead of her this season.
The longtime Stanford assistant coach served with distinction for 17 years on the Cardinal bench, helping Tara VanDerveer as Stanford advanced to eight NCAA Final Fours and won a national championship in 2021.
But it’s Paye’s show now. VanDerveer retired somewhat unexpectedly after the 2023-24 season, leaving Paye as the heir apparent on The Farm. Is she ready for the challenge?
“I had no idea when Tara was going to retire,” Paye said.
