Starting in Hawaii again.

Roster:

Really interested to see what the freshman bring (especially Gusarova and Belardi).

23 on the roster for 10 playing spots.

Last year Charlie bombed her jump serves to comeback and win late in the sets, guessing it'll be windy at Queens again

[johnbar]

Stanford's line-up vs. Stephen F. Austin:

#1 Ekstrom/Reilly
#2 Harvey/Kriz
#3 Morris/Wilson
#4 Vincent/Belardi
#5 Sharp/Kubiak

Vincent, Belardi and Kubiak are freshmen. Where's Xolani Hodel? Resting for the later match? (Hope she's not injured.) Maybe giving the frosh some experience.

Stanford went 4-1 in the first set (3s lost 20-22).

ETA: And the 2s get the first point.

[johnbar]

Clarke & Gusarova are playing at the 6s.
The 3s are going to a third set; Stanford has won the other four points.

Final: 4-1.

Almost the same line-up for Stanford vs. #10 Hawaii. Gusarova swapped in for Sharp at the 5s.

[johnbar]

Stanford vs Hawaii was tied 2-2, with the 3s going three sets again.
This time Morris/Wilson won 15-12. #9 Stanford beats #10 Hawaii.

Still wondering about Hodel.

ETA: Apparently she is back at Stanford with Doucet and Gamberdella.

That was a close one 😮‍💨

[johnbar]

Yep, Stanford falls 2-3 to UCLA. The 4s (freshmen Belardi and Vincent) posted a 2-0 win over Greene-Agnew/Myszkowski; and the 2s (Harvey & Kriz) came back to beat Smith & Van Winkle 2-1.

I guess that's a respectable loss to the #1 team.

Kent Steffes is proud

Stanford's home opener was a sweep of Portland, followed by a 4-1 win over St. Mary's.
Andrew Fuller's 100th career win as head coach.

And Xolani Hodel makes her first appearance of the year, on the 3s, getting a three-set victory.

You like the lines going forward from the St. Mary's match up?
Maddi & Maya seem to be struggling??

[blackmambabeto]

maybe Maya and Charlie, that team might probably be a top 3 service pressure team in NCAA this year with them ripping their jump serves, able to score a good amount of real points off of their wicked serves

[barnacle]

Is there anywhere to watch the replays of matches thus far?

[beachbum50]

Will they be streaming or are any of the matches this weekend on PAC 12 network?
