In last night's MPSF opener, Stanford took the first game of a four-set loss to UCLA at UCLA (25-23, 12-25, 21-25, 19-25).
Again, Theo Snoey played well hitting .344 with a team-leading 15 kills. Moses Wagner had a tough time with 7 kills, 6 errors and a 0.45 hitting percentage. Nate Clinton had just four kills and six errors, hitting -0.111. Stanford's middles Luke McFall and Kaumana Carreira had 11 kills on 17 swings, no errors, hitting .647. They just didn't get enough sets.
Overall, Stanford had 41 errors while UCLA had 48, but UCLA hit .416 as a team (Stanford hit .236) with 17 blocks and 8 service aces against 4 for Stanford. UCLA was missing their First-team All-America setter Andrew Rowan in favor of true freshman Trent Taliaferro.
The two teams play again tonight at 7 p.m.
