I've never been to a match at Hawai'i, but if there were 50 Stanford spectators, there were 6,782 Hawai'i fans. 

Hawai'i is 9-0, ranked #2 overall and Stanford pushed them to the absolute limit (25-23, 20-25, 19-25, 25-20, 14-16). What an incredible match!

Theo Snoey had probably his best match for the Cardinal...19 kills, just 5 errors, 40 attempts, hit .350 -- gold standard for pin hitters. Wags was 14 of 37, 6 errors. Nate Clinton had a bit of a rough match with 10 kills, 6 errors, 26 attempts. Middles did pretty well Wainwright was 5/1/9 and Kau Carreira was 4/0/9, both hit .444.

Stanford was actually the better "power" team, hitting .290 overall, Hawai'i hit .216 and Stanford had 20 blocks vs. Hawai'i's 8. Total errors were close, 55 for Stanford, 53 for Hawai'i. Hawai'i serves really well, 11 aces and 18 serving errors; Stanford had seven aces and 24 serving errors.

Theoren Brouillette did a nice job setting for Stanford, but Hawaiian setter Tread Rosenthal had 48 assists, six kills, seven digs and three aces. 

They play again at 9 p.m. our time on Friday.
