And the 4s, Hoffman and Tusher, are the AVCA national Pair of the Week:

RE: Stanford Beach Volleyball - paloalto - 04-15-2025

Today's AVCA poll: UCLA #1, TCU #2, Stanford #3.

Stanford came close to beating UCLA this past weekend.  If they had, Stanford probably would be ranked #1 because UCLA beat TCU.


RE: Stanford Beach Volleyball - BobK - 04-15-2025

Thanks. Has Stanford ever been ranked higher ?

I had to go check.
They were #2 the first two weeks last year:

I hope they are peaking a the end of the season.


RE: Stanford Beach Volleyball - johnbar - 04-18-2025

SCU beat UCD 3-2.

Now UW vs. UCD, still in the first set, so I'd guess they are behind schedule already.


RE: Stanford Beach Volleyball - johnbar - 04-18-2025

Stanford won easily at the 2s, 4s, and 6s.  1s, 3s, and 5s underway.  May make up some of the delay if they continue to dominate.

ETA:
Spoke too soon.  Stanford up 4-0, but the 3s are going to a third set. Then Cal vs. UW, which could also run long.
Cal/UW started about 3:45.


RE: Stanford Beach Volleyball - paloalto - 04-18-2025

Stanford up 2-0 against Cal.  Taking a long time to get the other the matches started.


RE: Stanford Beach Volleyball - johnbar - 04-18-2025

Stanford won 4-1. 
I watched the 6s on court 3 for a while; Clarke & Sharp started out hot, but Cal caught up and won it 2-0.
Switched back to court 1, where the 2s went three sets, that was a fun one.
Only loss (that counted) was the 5s, which also went 3.  Gusarova & Stowell were leading, I think 9-7, but Cal tied it and wen up by a point or two.  Tied again 13-all, but Cal got the next two points, to finish the  dual. (About 7:50pm)

Senior Day tomorrow, part of Cardinalpalooza.


RE: Stanford Beach Volleyball - johnbar - 04-19-2025

Stanford swept UW 5-0.


RE: Stanford Beach Volleyball - johnbar - 04-19-2025

Stanford rested some starters again, getting most of the seniors involved vs. UCDavis.  Stanford won 4-1, losing the 5s.
Doucet & Turner won the first set easily, 21-11.  But then lost the second and third.  Nice senior night ceremony followed.
Some alumnae there, like Charlie Ekstrom and Kate Reilly.

I assume Stanford will be the #2 seed in the MPSF tournament starting Wednesday, behind UCLA.


RE: Stanford Beach Volleyball - johnbar - 04-20-2025

Stanford is the #2 seed in the MPSF Championship, taking on #7 Oregon on Wednesday at 11:00 am PDT.

I thought this was a typo, since play-to-decision should be 3-0.  But I see they consider the 5s and 2s to have ended simultaneously, so it really is 4-0.

ETA:  a Bruin poster on volleytalk says Friday's matches stream on the FoxSports app, not B1G+, despite what the MPSF website says.  I don't see Friday's matches listed on either B1G or Fox networks' websites.


RE: Stanford Beach Volleyball - paloalto - 04-23-2025

If true, that's a bummer about Friday matches.  I have B1G network on cable.  Every MPSF beach volleyball program I checked states Friday's matches will be televised on B1G network and B1G+.  After my bad experience with trying to access B1G+ after paying for a subscription, it wouldn't surprise me that incorrect information is being sent out by the B1G network.


RE: Stanford Beach Volleyball - johnbar - 04-23-2025

To clarify, the claim is the Friday matches will air on B1G Cable Network (like it says), but the streaming will be on FoxSports, not B1G+.

I just started my B1G+ subscription and have had no problem.  I don't get B1G on cable.


RE: Stanford Beach Volleyball - johnbar - 04-24-2025

Stanford vs. USC:  Stanford won the first set on 1-4.


RE: Stanford Beach Volleyball - BobK - 04-24-2025

The schedule


RE: Stanford Beach Volleyball - paloalto - 04-24-2025

What happened to USC today? In the three completed matches they got destroyed by Stanford.  I wasn't expecting that.
