Really liked this win. Oregon is really good and they had a big crowd there supporting them. Their defense was really solid and they seemed to play very, very well out of system. That was frustrating but wasn't enough for them. Over the entire match, Oregon had slightly more kills, assists, digs, and blocks than us. The teams were even on aces. In the end we had a better kill percentage than Oregon and dominated the fourth set when Stanford started getting more stops and Oregon started to realize they didn't have enough to get the win.
I was very happy with the grit the team showed late in the first two sets. Finished strong on the road. Great sign for the tough games to come. I would still like to see more desperate determination in every rotation to never give up on a point and keep rallies going from Stanford but they seem to be improving in that area. We need these tough contests to be ready if this team is going to make a run at a championship. Love beating the Ducks in anything.
Cheers,

Really good win considering the opponent and being on the road.
- Best I have seen the team serve as a collective.
- All the pins played well today.
- Miner and Oglive were their typical terrific.
- I would have liked to see the MB’s used more but
- they weren’t very effective today.
- middle blockers shouldn’t try to receive serves.
- I think the officials were drunk. Insane number of upheld challenges, several of which were not close
