The video link in Boston Card's post is to the first Stanford victory over Arizona. Stanford won that match 3-2. Stanford won (10-30-2015) 3-1.

Ah, thanks, I couldn't figure out why the box score said 3-1 and the highlights showed a 3-2 match (with us coming back to win the last two). Thanks for clarifying.

It is very exciting to see the team beginning to come together and jell after adjusting to the loss of Inky and the injuries to Jordan.Â
Hodson had 15 kills but a lot of errors to hit .140. The Middles were awesome, Lutz had 12 kills at a sizzling .391 and Vanjak had 7 hitting .308. Vanjak's gradual improvement in the middle is a big reason we are doing better of late. Finally, Howard had a good night, with 13 kills hitting .346. This is beginning to look a little more like last year.

The Arizona setter was taking advantage of Ivana and dumped it over her twice. Later I noticed she was more prepared for this, but I don't know if it impacted her blocking. While we had some impressive blocks, generally we didn't do that well. UofA got one more block than us.
Our nemesis, service errors, was back again. 11 errors, 2 each for Madi, Jordan, Halland, Kelsey. Hayley had 3 aces and 3 service errors, so that's ok.
I remember looking up and seeing we had 5 players with between 6 and 8 kills. That's pretty good distribution (but not necessarily optimum).
Once again, we were tied 1-1 in sets, and fell behind in the 3rd set. We were down 5-9 when the coach called the timeout. I don't know what he said, or why the team responded, but we started climbing back into it (with ties at 13, 14,15) and then steam rolled them (winning 25-18). Hayley got two of her three aces in one set of serves.
We never fell behind in the final set, but from a 10-10 tie, we won 25-14. (Interesting stat... In the 3 sets that Stanford won, there was only one lead change total.)
I don't know what lies ahead in the tournament, but this team is self-taught in coming from behind. I just hope they can minimize the need for it.
