No, you can't cherry pick sets to say it was jet lag in that set.
let's stop using the jet leg excuse for every sport having struggles on the road. we've heard from the coaches and players downplaying it and this is not new to us anymore. year 2 in the acc. big ten teams travel a lot too and nebraska still looks pretty dang good.

Yu looked pretty upbeat on the sideline. I hope she is available next weekend.

If I may elaborate about jet lag. Stanford looked ragged throughout the entire match. Way too many shots went out. This is not up to their standard even for this season.

Body clock is 5 pm; if the players were experiencing jet lag we have bigger problems.
What was our excuse last week, playing at home?

I would note that travel and jet lag effect different people differently.
My wife can sleep on a plane (or almost anywhere); I almost never do. So I'll be wiped when we travel (especially flying East). OTOH, she may be fine the first day, then be somewhat out of it on the second or third.
I believe the team traveled yesterday. So maybe some got a good night's rest, and maybe some didn't. A 4pm Pacific Time start isn't that early, so maybe the time zone had little effect and they just had an off day. Or maybe key players are effected; we don't know.
You can't blame everything on jet lag, but you can't just dismiss it either.

Wow! I had pretty much written Penn State off for this season.

Unranked Syracuse up 10-7 in first set. 6 point run by Syracuse.
Stanford alternating between unforced mistakes and absolute brilliant play.
Stanford with a slow start now coming on like gangbusters in set one.
Stanford running on cylinders. Nine point run to close out set one. Will it last?

Have I mentioned lately how badly ESPN sucks? Can’t watch the game on my PC, watching it on my iPad instead. My iPhone tells me I’m not eligible to watch this material. Posting this game on my YouTube channel will be delayed.

FWIW, the last time I had an ESPN problem, it worked to sign out of my TV provider in the ESPN app and then back in. Actually I signed out of my ESPN account and back in too, first, but that didn't seem to help.

Watching on my Roku streaming stick. Had no problem Friday. Today when I clicked on the match, I got the "not eligible" message. Clicked OK, and then clicked on the match again. No problem, I'm watching. So, yes, their streaming app has problems.

The Cardinal finish off the Orange. Sidney Duncan got a kill. Logan Tusher got in, as well as Malyssa Cawa.

I guess we figured out the jet lag. Or maybe Syracuse is just not that good. Three set seeep, with Stanford holding the Orangepeople to 15, 15, and 12 points. As mentioned, Hambley cleared the benches, and Duncan got her first kill on her first swing.

Jet lag fades as you acclimate to a new time zone.

Is there some kind of contest going on to see who can post the same thing the most times?

AVCA Poll Stanford at #5.
Stanford has one televised match the rest of the regular season. The others are on ACCNX
