Stanford up 10-6 in first set. I think Miner is Stanford's best pin blocker.
Blyashov in street clothes. If she being red shirted?

No Blyaskov isn’t being redshirted. Sure a brobdingnagian question as to when she can play. Given the recent chalk talk we knew she was iffy this weekend

Stanford wins first set 25-17. I think Notre Dame is capable of playing better than what they showed so far.
Rubin with a couple really nice digs.

A few random notes. First, Rubin’s serve has really improved. She seems to hit balls off the tape fairly often. Second, Lizzy Andrew doesn’t get enough mentions. I think she’s doing a terrific job given the others on the floor.

Second set was pretty ugly, basically lots of unforced errors by Stanford.

In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.

Final, 25-20 fourth set; Stanford takes it in 4. We win our first ACC match!
Seems like even when we are overall better than our opponent, we put up at least one stinker of a set (thinking of our matches against UCSB and Pepperdine).

Agree, I think on the whole our MBs are better than last year; Francis is playing better and freshman Andrews is at least as good as Vicini was last year.
As of yesterday, Francis had 2.2 kills per set with a .397 hitting percentage and 1.17 blocks per set and Andrews shad 1.6 kills per set with a .414 hitting percentage and 0.45 blocks per set.
Last year, Francis had 1.9 kills per set with a .368 hitting percentage and 1.1 blocks per set while Vicini had 1.3 kills per set with a .411 hitting percentage and 1.3 blocks per set.
Overall, our middles are getting 3.8 kills and 1.6 blocks per set this year, versus 3.2 kills and 2.4 blocks per set. So, we are getting more offense and a little less defense. That's not a surprise, since the biggest adjustment to the college game is blocking, since opponents' offense is a step-change from high school, and everything is faster. To give you an idea, Vicini as a freshman had 0.64 blocks/set, and Francis as a freshman had 0.45 blocks/set.

Weird line score for UCLA at Nebraska
Nebr: 25 25 23 25
UCLA: 22 10 25 22
I.e., Unranked UCLA got hammered in the second set but came back to win the third.
Former Stanford beach player Kate Reilly is playing DS for UCLA, and is regularly subbed in.
As others have noted, this seems to be a perpetual problem with Stanford VB.

I have a theory. Tune in Saturday for the exposition.
