Not only did they lose to SMU, they lost 4-1. And in the two unfinished matches Stanford was trailing 4-0 and 4-2 in the third set. That was a clock cleaning in Dallas. But today Alyssa Ahn, Tianmei Wang and Emma Sun turned those frowns upside down.
Stanford's reward for beating #8-seed/#25-nationally ranked SMU is a rematch on Friday with #1-seed/#7-nationally ranked Virginia.
The women were skunked 4-0 by UVA on Senior Day, so I say it's time for revenge.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
