The eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard and the Jell-O's jiggling . . .

Despite a rough start, we are cruising to a three set win over the #15 ranked team in the country.  Hard to argue against Yu when the team is hitting .636 in the third set.

Interesting amount of internal drama for a straight set win over a ranked opponent.

Thank you. I was hoping I wasn’t the only one who noticed that.

May I add my vote to that? Maybe we should take up a collection to  pay him to say nothing with silence rather than to say nothing with a thousand words?

Etzler’s ace to close out the first set

I think her sets are more unpredictable to the defense 
Less likely give the blockers a chance to set up

Yep.

RE: 2025 Women’s Volleyball - BobK - 11-07-2025

Harvey with a great game 14 kills hitting
560. Andrew with 9 blocks
Yu coming in and team hit 500 in the 3rd set
Hambly making g two big moves with Yu and
Pringle
For those not at the chalk talk team hits at a higher % with Parks but Yu was excellent tonight

That’s a misleading stat. Because the eye test when watching games favors Yu.

Interesting to see who starts against Duke tonight.

Yes,  I'll be surprised if it's not Yu but I trust Hambly in whatever he decides.  I'm guessing the starters would like it to be Yu.

RE: 2025 Women’s Volleyball - BostonCard - 11-08-2025

Didn't realize this:

Quote:STATISTICAL RANKINGS: Stanford leads the ACC and is fifth nationally with a .302 attack percentage. The Cardinal also paces the conference in assists (13.42) and kills (14.26) per set, ranking seventh and 10th in the NCAA, respectively. Stanford is third in the ACC in aces (1.68) and seventh in digs (13.69).

I find this hard to square with all the criticism of Parks.

One sees all the blemishes close up. There are lots of sayings that point this out

RE: 2025 Women’s Volleyball - BostonCard - 11-08-2025

Parks gets the starting nod.  Blyashov also starting (notwithstanding yesterdays game) so I guess we are done alternating with Kurt.

---

Blyashov is serving well. Stanford starts with a 5-0 run, mostly because we are getting the Blue Devils out of system.
