Thanks for pointing out she's no longer on the roster. It doesn't come as a surprise to me. Next year Kelly Belardi, a very good setter, joins the team. The chances of Greene getting any playing time as a setter at Stanford is about nil. I'm going by memory (never a good idea). She might be the only healthy player who hasn't gotten on the court this season. If she has, it would have been only for a couple of rallys.
Sometimes WVB players realize that putting all the time into practice, lifting weights, traveling and never getting on the court is not what they want. I don't know her story but it wouldn't surprise me if she decided to focus on academics.

Stanford went from #16 to #26 in the NCAA rpi rankings.
At this point Stanford probably can't lose more than one match through the balance of the season to have any chance of getting back into the top 16 seeds. Very likely the first round of the NCAA tournament Stanford starts on the road.
UCLA and Utah are the only two PAC-12 teams in the top twenty RPI. Stanford doesn't play UCLA again. I don't see any stepping stone back to being a top 16 seed.
