I heard zero mention of Vicini or Francis. Did we have a middle presence?

I’d love to see the passing stats. My impression was that Stanford started pulling away as CB found her rhythm. Rubin was so impressive; great decisions, punches way above her weight class. She takes so much advantage of the phenomenal tempo Miner can deliver. There were a few early season hiccups but this team overall looked incredibly dialed in today. Rubin is playing a year older, better, stronger, faster, smarter, springier, etc. What a baller. Stanford would not be nearly as good as they are without her I really like the appreciation for Rubin. She is too valuable for this team - such a good all around player!

And Taylor Harvey was visiting Texas this weekend to see the Stanford sweep. Perfect time to visit, I guess. Lol

But I thought the difference maker was how tough we served. SEs aren't really that important. What matters is serving tough and keeping the other team out of system....

I heard zero mention of Vicini or Francis. Did we have a middle presence? Sami had a very serviceable, workmanlike match - .556 (5-0-9); three BA (1.5 points); 6.5 total pts. Vicini didn't score offensively; but as mentioned, she had 8 BA/TB (block assists/ total blocks); 4 pts.

LOGAN TOM will serve as @realprovb Director of International Development & Player Strategy
From the volleyballmag.com article:
PVF has brought on former Stanford and USA great Logan Tom as its director of international development and player strategy. Tom, who played in 12 countries and has been coaching Israel, will, according to the PVF, cultivate relationships with other volleyball agencies and federations both domestic and foreign, and act as a liaison between those organizations and PVF players with a focus on player safety and wellness.
Tom, a International Volleyball Hall of Famer who, at 19, became the youngest woman ever to be selected to the USA Olympic team, made her Olympic debut at the 2000 Sydney Games. Tom played in four Olympics and was on the USA teams that won silver medals in 2008 and 2012.

Thought I'd throw in some other sports' updates (...since this thread was on p.4 of the board menu). Congrats to Coach Taylor and the FB team on their first win in the season opener v. UH. Living in Hawai'i, I know how much UH was looking forward to this matchup and the stadium atmosphere was jacked-up. Not an easy place to play, as opposed to Aloha Stadium/mausoleum. Love Bennett as the quarterback. Also, the Women's Soccer squad is undefeated, ranked #2 in the NCAA and beat #10 Duke before a sold out crowd at Cagan. Men's Soccer is undefeated as well: beating #17 Georgetown and #8 Creighton. The Men's Water Polo team is gaining steam, going 3-1 at the Triton Invite after a loss to #9 LBSU. I love Coach Flacks and how he is recruiting (both domestically and internationally) since replacing Vargas. That's it; now back to your regularly scheduled programming: the Big10/PAC12 Challenge...and more. Edited to add...FYI, it's been brought to my attention in a few DMs that others have been surprised by how far this thread sinks: even during the season. TBPH, I am not. In the offseason I have found it as far down as P.10 in the board menu. Even during this fifth-ranked campaign, i have found it on page 6. Something about 'the real Stanford fans'; those extolled by a poster who could be a bit kinder, y'know?
