STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Stanford women’s basketball coach Tara VanDerveer has pledged $10 for every 3-pointer made in the NCAA women’s tournament toward humanitarian efforts in Ukraine, and she has challenged anyone else who can give to do so.

She was an assistant coach on the U.S. team that VanDerveer led to Ukraine in 1996.
