30 digs would tie with 4 others for 10th best in history for Stanford. (Most recent was Morgan Hentz's 32 in 2018)
Of course, what stands out for Stanford is the 12 errors in the first set. The other 3 sets totaled 12 errors.
There have been 18 matches in which Stanford has lost a set. For those 18 matches, Stanford is 48-28 in sets, but only 9-9 in the first set. Relative to their opponent, Stanford tends to have a weak first set. (It could be that Stanford isn't ready, or that Stanford has more endurance or more adjustments by coaching staff, etc.)
The 12 errors in set 1 is the most errors in any set by Stanford (they had 2 sets with 9 errors against UCLA). I didn't notice a pattern of significantly more errors by Stanford in the 1st set.
Interesting, in the previous ASU match that Stanford lost 0-3, Baird led with 12 kills and only had 3 digs. In Thursday night's 3-1 match, she had 10 kills and 17 digs.
Per GoStanford, Kipp's 23 kills was a season high (6th double-double). Baird's 17 digs was a season high (2nd double-double). Rubin's 19 kills and 15 digs was her 13th double-double. Vicini's 6 blocks passed Kerri Walsh and tied Lutz for 9th most career blocks at Stanford.
