No Belardi in either of today's matches.  Is she injured?

She played in the first exhibition match (which was Stanford vs. Stanford), so not injured.
I was surprised she was not in the line-up for either dual; but it looks like Coach Fuller was experimenting with the pairings.

Two perfect sweeps; not a set lost.
The SJSU #1s were competitive, and gave Hodel & Kriz a good match.  Most of the other matches were not close.

After the second dual, I was heading out, and saw Coach Fuller near the entrance.  He said something like "Thanks for coming today."  So I took the opportunity to ask if he would ever do a chalk talk.  He reacted like that was great idea that had never occurred to him.  Not sure anything will come of it, but we'll see.

Coach Hambly was also there for the USF dual.

Thursday and Friday Stanford takes on #12 Long Beach, #15 FIU, and unranked (NAIA) Vanguard.
