Did not realize Stanford will have all their Starters back next season. They should be the Preseason #1 team next year. Wisconsin returns everyone too except for Hart I think it will be them for 1 and 2 Florida may be returning all of their starters too. Nebraska is pretty young too.

Nebraska is pretty young too. ill be interested to see if all the players on roster return for both of those teams (wisco and nebraska). while we can't really use the portal, at least we dont have to worry about losing players to it !

I hope both the Stanford - Houston and San Diego - Kentucky matches get posted. I would love to watch those matches with the commentary.

It was fun to watch the come back in set 1. This reminded me the set we cam back against PSU a few years ago as well in the play off around the similar scores and we went on to win the Championship. Other matches for 1st and second rounds were posted as well. Sweet 16: Stanford vs. Houston match Second Round: Stanford vs. LSU match First Round: Stanford vs. Pepperdine match

Congrats Ladies and the coaching staff!!! First elite 8 appearance since the 2019 National Championships. Watching Stanford beat Houston gives me so many memories when Maples hosted a couple of regionals back then when Plummer and Co were still playing. I remember sitting in the stands back in 2018 when Stanford finally beat Penn State in the tournament for the 1st time in a long, long time. Plummer did everything she could to avenge all of those losses to Penn State in previous years. It’s just so nice to be finally back on this stage of the tournament. Missy Whittemore did the call, IIRC, in those matches too - maybe she is our lucky charm! came a long way for the Card since covid hit 🤧 Yeah....2020*...2-8. Furthermore, at the beginning of this year, some poster had a thread asking teams' fans to predict their squads' final season records (not including postseason). The highest any SU fan predicted for Stanford was 22-6 (I had 19-9). No one knew how much Rubin would mean to this team. Nor did anybody know how high Kipp would rise this year (legitimate NPOY candidate). Nor how much Kami would improve. No matter what happens from now on, this season has been a complete success!

Few more hours. A bit nervous for this one.
Hope the crowd is better tonight and is all pumped up.
Go Card!

I lived in SD for 5 years while at UCSD. When it rains, which is rare, people there get very confused. Not many peeps own umbrellas.

Extremely sad that the season has to end in the regional finals. They were so close to taking it in 4th set. Nevertheless, a very good season for many reasons:
Pac 12 Champs First Regional Final appearance since 2019 Sweeping all of the Pac12 awards
And:
- A revelation that is Elia Rubin - The amazing progress of Kami Miner - Kendall Kipp’s rose to dominance - Elena Oglivie as one of the best liberos in the nation - Improvement of Mckenna Vicini - Caitie Baird and Sami Francis’ struggles but still managed to contribute
It is comforting to know that everyone in the starting line up is coming back next season. Hopefully, with a better result.
Until then. Go Card! 🌲

Baird… should not have been in the back row…I hope that whatever ails her gets the attention it needs. This cannot happen again, 10 kills won’t get it done. Miner got worse as the night went on, they had it and they let it slip away. I love Caitey but you can’t lay an egg like that. I always new next year was going to be their best shot still sucks though. Props to SD they hung in…did think Blossom was going to puke a few times.

Develop the connection with the middles over the spring and summer, and next year will be even better

I watched Stanford last season and the beginning of this season, and I did not think they would make the game with San Diego as close as they did. They look very solid, probably the outright favorites to take the title next year.
