Actually Harvey has cooled off a bit.
19-17 Stanford after a phenomenal rally. Louisville timeout.
BC
Rubin has a cannon.

Louisville up 23-22 now and we take a timeout.

Kudos to the announcers. Not once have they confused Cardinals and Cardinal. At least not that I’ve heard.

Rats, we staved off about 4 set points, including an epic rally at 25-24, but Louiville takes it 29-27.
BC
Louisville’s defense at the net has gotten better. They’re ready for what we are throwing at them.
BC
So we go with a back row kill. Nice counter.

They are not using "Cardinal" at all. Its Cardinals vs Stanford.

Down 9-13 in set 4. Ugh.

Louisville has made some nice adjustments and this is starting to pull away in the fourth. We’ve also had a run of service errors that is not helping. They are up 13-9 and we take a timeout.
I’m worried that this might be the reverse of the Georgia Tech match and we are in danger of the reverse sweep.

Stanford serving specialists should be able to serve the ball in. Thus far they have not.

Rubin service run ties it at 17! Louisville timeout.
RE: Stanford Women’s Volleyball 2024 -
BostonCard - 11-30-2024
Nice 4-0 run to tie it at 17. Keyed by some great defense; a great save by Oglive that led to a beautiful Kurt block, then Miner with the kill on 2, and some more great blocking.
BC
Great serving by Rubin and now Miner and it is 22-20; timeout Louisville.
Man, what a great match. High level volleyball by both teams.
BC
Third match point for Stanford. Come on, let’s close this out.
BC
Challenge.
BC
Call reversed. Oh man.
BC
Now 25-25.
BC
Francis ends it with a stuff. 27-25. Great match!

Will Stanford be one of the top 4 teams after this result?

I hope and expect that secures a #1 seed.
Sitting here recalling the downer comments on this board early in the season....

Terrific match. Kurt has gotten better and better, as has Harvey, and, except for a couple whaaaat matches, Rubin is a killer. Francis does her job as well as anybody on the court. Nobody with a better duo than Miner and Oglivie. With some luck, this team easily could be in finals.

Both teams played at a high level throughout the match. What a pleasure to watch.

Yep, both Kurt and Harvey have improved throughout the season.
Kurt gets kills so many times off of high hands. Sometimes I think she swings at a location above the block just hoping the blocker will reach the ball to deflect it upward beyond the court. It often works out for her.
Unofficial NCAA RPI has updated stats reflecting this match.
#3 Louisville #4 Stanford #5 Penn State
While Louisville has a slightly better RPI, I think the committee will give precedence to Stanford beating Louisville the final game of the season and Louisville with back to back losses to finish the season.

My thoughts exactly. The team is firing in all cylinders. Francis has stayed healthy. And don’t forget Lizzy Andrew. She showed some real powe4 today. Tomorrow we’ll see what the NCAA thinks. Added bonus: now that we’re in the ACC, east coast media bias no longer applies.
