ETA:  I don't know if the full roster made the trip to Hawaii in past seasons.

First game of the season:  Stanford vs #7 LMU.

Stanford X account says live stats not working.  So no livestream, no livestats, and no X in game updates.  What a dubious reporting start to the season.   X account says they will report results after match has been completed.

When I saw Stanford's lineup I thought they had the talent to be the best in the country.  The first day was a little disappointing.

Rockwell/Sorra was the one that clinched the W. SC was tough, and we had our backs against the wall more than once, but our team was up to the task!

Another 2-3 loss, this time to UCLA.

1. Boyd/Perez (UCLA) def Rockwell/Sorra (STAN) 2-1 (21-18, 13-21, 15-9)
2. Bell/Wilson (STAN) def Brennan/Myszkowski (UCLA) 2-0 (22-20, 21-18)
3. Alden/Brower (UCLA) def Belardi/Jackson (STAN) 2-1 (18-21, 24-22, 15-9)
4. Hoffman/Stowell (STAN) def Fernandez/Van Winkle (UCLA) 2-0 (21-15, 22-20)
5. Cooper/Moore (UCLA) def Morris/Vincent (STAN) 2-1 (21-18, 14-21, 15-13)

Stanford's wins at the 2s and 4s were 2-0.  The losses were 1-2.

I was hoping for better results, too, but it's the first weekend.  They are starting two true freshmen and four sophomores. 
Tomorrow should be a little easier, but no gimmes.

I wonder if/when we'll see Gubbins in competition?  And I wonder how Emmy Sharp is doing?

This one went down to the wire. We led 2-0, then UCLA took the next 2, and everyone was gathered around Court 5 where we went from down 6-1, and later 12-9(-ish?) to 12-12 with a lot of energy and momentum. However, we lost 15-13 in a valiant effort. Oh so close. Tomorrow is UH, followed by ASU, where some local alumni will be attending as a group to support our team.
