Dropped a pair to #9 Pepperdine, both 3-1 at Stanford.
First was 16-25, 20-25, 25-23, 17-25. Uninspiring. Stanford played an error filled match, hit just .145 to Pepperdine's .330. Pepperdine outpaced Stanford in every facet, including kills (49-42), Aces (7-4), Blocks (8-5), Assists (46-40), and Digs (32-31). Wagner was 14 K, 5 errors, 33 attempts for .273 to lead the pin hitters. DuRoss had two kills and three errors. Theo Snoey had 13 kills, 8 errors in 31 attempts. Kau Carreira, rapidly turning into the best middle, had 7 kills and two errors in 12 attempts. The other MBs, Gray Mandelbaum had two kills and two errors in 4 attempts and Luke McFall had two kills and 1 error in five attempts. Frosh Libero Evan Porter had 11 digs, second time this season he's hit double figures.
Second match was 22-25, 25-18, 20-25 and 16-25. Not good, but there was some improvement at the margins. Stanford led in kills (51-50) and assists (50-48), they usually walk hand in hand, and digs, 26-24. Pepperdine led in aces 2-1 and a big lead in blocks, 12-6. This match, Ryan DuRoss started at OH and had a season-high 11 kills. Theo Snoey had the edge with 18 kills and 8 errors for a .250 hitting percentage whereas Moses Wagner was 8 kills and 6 errors for a 0.080 hitting percentage. MB Luke McFall had nine kills in just 11 attempts and Kau Carreira had five kills and one error in 12 attempts.
Coach Kosty's still feeling out several positions, splitting time at MB, OH and libero this weekend. His two frosh liberos split the last match with Evan Porter having five digs, Kai Schmitt had two diggs.
Home and home against Menlo School this weekend. Stanford is 0-4 in league, hopefully this will mean two wins as Menlo is presently 1-3. Pepperdine leads the MPSF with a 6-0 record, UCLA and USC are 4-0, Grand Canyon and BYU are 3-3, Vanguard is 2-6, Concordia is 1-5 and Stanford is making everyone else look good at 0-4.
