I'm a very casual volleyball fan (don't even know all the rules), but that was fun to watch! Even I could see that Harvey played a great game, with great contributions from others.

Great game by Harvey and the middles. The middles were unstoppable. I like the sets were going to middles when the passing was there. The middles had some really beautiful hits especially hitting the quick one set and the back one set. When passing and setting settle, the middles will become more dominant which will help the OHs. The OH offense will come. Last night, they were getting a lot garbage sets.

What impressed me the most was Julia’s defense. She was digging balls like she was a defensive specialist. I believe she had 23, maybe more digs. That’s impressive. I’d like to her get set from the back as well.

When Cawa and Rolson came in, the passing stabilized. I hope they are the DS we see from now own. I think KK has been given enough opportunities in her career to claim one of the DS spots but her passing and defense is just not there, in my opinion

- 25 digs for JB in the box score.
- Hard to play Kirsch if that is what her serve reception looks like - 3 errors in only 2 sets. She didn’t serve well either. Cawa and Rolson were better.
- lots of things snowballed together from set 2 on. Serve reception got better. Defense got better especially JB. Setting got a little better. A little blocking. And Wisconsin’s hitting dropped off. It all adds up.

Pitt is pounding Wisconsin right now.

StanfordWVB instagram says the Kansas match will start early: 11:15 PT.

RE: 2026 Women’s Volleyball - BobK - 08-30-2026

It’s 15-14 Stanford

RE: 2026 Women’s Volleyball - johnbar - 08-30-2026

Kansas had a set point but Stanford wins 27-25.

RE: 2026 Women’s Volleyball - Card10Fan - 08-30-2026

Parks struggling to set again and put hitters in good spots. Is this concerning considering we saw this a lot at times her freshman year? Yes.

RE: 2026 Women’s Volleyball - BobK - 08-30-2026

I see a lot of very good sets. Not all but the OHs especially Kurt are getting good swings.
Stanford wins 25-22 up 2-0

RE: 2026 Women’s Volleyball - ca245 - 08-30-2026

We’re up 2-0!

RE: 2026 Women’s Volleyball - mbdude - 08-30-2026

serve recieve struggling again,
and Parks setting a problem

Yes. Imagine how good we could be if we could fix these two “minor” areas, because blocking, digging and hitting are much improved over Friday.

Jinx. Oliver’s Woofing Theorem strikes again.

Set four, and the question is which team will be able to hold serve first.

… and it’s us.

RE: 2026 Women’s Volleyball - johnbar - 08-30-2026

Stanford forgot about set 3 and pulls out the win.

Not pretty, but a win is a win.

Also beat the jinx! Kansas looked better than #15.

I think you are the only one seeing all those very good sets.

RE: 2026 Women’s Volleyball - BobK - 08-30-2026

The left side hitters were getting great swings. Somehow :)

RE: 2026 Women’s Volleyball - cardfan77 - 08-30-2026

Yes, a win is a win but passing and setting are two major issues for this team.

Serve receive was atrocious. Parks struggled with location no just to the outside but to the middle. So many quick one sets were too low and timing was just off. It doesn’t help when your setter is already struggling with location but then passing is all over the place.

Good game by Julia and Ipar. They found a way to get kills with subpar sets.
