Stanford wins in 3. 25-20, 25-16, 25-18.
Side-out percentage of almost 80%. (I'll take 13 service errors to be at 80%)
The team hit 0.422. Sayer 0.700, Andrew 0.562, Blyashov 0.382, Jordan & Parks 0.375.
Interestingly, Rubin had the lowest hitting percentage at 0.214.
We have chosen to forgo Disney, Hulu, and ESPN(+,2,3,U,...) and thus, ACCN and ACCNx, so I'm going to be watching Stanford pretty much only in person. I support KZSU.
I post all Stanford Volleyball games on my YouTube channel: @TonyLimaCollegeSports.
This link may work.
I donate to KZSU every year. Listen to them often, especially during baseball season when there are a lot of games and minimal coverage. Whether that changes with our "ascension" to the ACC remains to be seen.

Stanford wins 3rd set. Rubin was finally effective/successful in the 3rd set by hitting high hands.

That’s an understatement. Stanford wins set 3 25 to 8 (eight!)!
.590 hitting percentage in the third set; UCLA hit -0.111

Completely intentional understatement. Amazing set. 17 point win? RUKM?

Fourth set not quite like the third set; UCLA is on track to exceed their point total. Still, Stanford is up 11-6 with a couple nice serving runs.
BC
BTW, UCLA’s side out percentage is 48.8%. To win more than 50% of points on serve is amazing.

Ipar Kurt sighting
BTW, Stanford has 9 aces versus 13 serving errors in the match. I’ll take it.

Erika Sayer is IMPRESSIVE. Just a freshman and already showing her prowess. She can hit different shots and her line shots on her slides are a thing of beauty. Not many middles can hit line shots at all or consistently. She led the team today with 13 kills with .611 hitting percentage.
So excited to see her grow and improve especially her lateral speed. I’ve said this before and I’ll continue to say it again but I’m so glad we got her over the younger Harvey

Been meaning to write about her. Don't forget the other frosh, Parks. Talk about two quality recruits. Kudos to Coach Hambly.

Stanford moves up (slightly) in the AVCA poll: tied for 3rd.
Louisville's loss to Kentucky caused them to swap places; Stanford went from 4th to tied with UK.
Conference play starts with week, at Virginia and Virginia Tech.
ETA: My home cable & internet were switched from San Bruno Cable to Comcast Xfinity today. So for the first time, I have full access to the ACC Network.

I'm also impressed by Etzler, the freshman libero

Sayer is the ACC freshman of the week:
https://theacc.com/news/2025/9/22/womens-volleyball-acc-announces-volleyball-players-of-the-week.aspx
This is the third time in five weeks she’s won the award.
Etzler has won the defensive player of the week once (in the first week).

Why in the world would Hambly challenge a call when the score is 23-13 in the first set? Stanford is going to win the set no matter what. So a challenge was lost for no reason.
Announcers: "Virginia this, Virginia that. Lest we forget to mention the other team is #3 Stanford".
Virginia is giving a tutorial on how to do lollipop serves.
RE: 2025 Women’s Volleyball -
BobK - 09-27-2025
We’ll support the players my thought
Yes announcer talks Virginia but then she played at Virginia

Today was my turn to miss a chunk of the match until I figured out I had to sign out of my cable provider in the ESPN app and sign back in before it would quit telling me I don't have this channel in my cable package.
Do they not have any replays at all on this broadcast?
...oh I saw one!

Etzler and Harvey looking good.
Virginia football is better than Virginia WVB.

Up 2-0. Interview now with Hambly. “We are putting good serves on them “
