Great comment 81alum. I have seen hype on ESPN about the final match. It makes me sad Stanford came so close and everything almost fell into place. I wouldn't want to play UConn, but I actually think we would have a chance to beat Mississippi State.
I agree for the most part about academics precluding some of the best players from applying to Stanford, but I would want it no other way. In the end college should be about academics first and sports second IMO. We have a top WVB recruit who is getting all A's in AP and Honors classes with a 4.6 weighted GPA. She wants to come to Stanford but fears her SAT scores may not meet admission's standards.
