Stanford beat UCSB in four today (25-22, 24-26, 25-23, 25-21), with both Alex (11 kills) and Will (16 kills) Rottman starring. I mentioned in the earlier post that the Rottmans were Santa Barbara natives...I should also point out that their father was a two-time All American at UCSB, and played professionally in France and on the AVP tour, and their uncle Steve Rottman played at USC and played professionally on the AVP tour.
Stanford was down to 42 errors today (from 62 yesterday), so...progress.
Next Friday and Saturday, Stanford will participate in the First Point Collegiate Challenge in Austin, Texas. They will open against #7 Penn State at 4:30 on Friday, then will play #13 Ball State at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, presumably followed by a quick trip to the airport.
BTW, I think the MPSF is going to be pretty tough this year. Here's the current preseason standings, a collective 23-1. BYU lost one to Lewis:
T-1. Grand Canyon (4-0)
T-1. UCLA (4-0)
T-1. BYU (3-1)
T-1. Stanford (4-0)
T-1. USC (3-0)
T-1. Pepperdine (3-0)
T-1. Concordia (2-0)
