We are sweeping today. Elena outplays lexi. Kami and Sami run 0 slides. Kipp 24 kills. Not that I was counting exactly, but we ran very few slides against Minnesota. I'm guessing the game plan called for emphasis on front and back ones against Minny's relatively short middle blockers.

I stopped watching the broadcast. Thank God it is not December yet. So many things to learn. But Nebraska showed one of the biggest problems of Stanford right now (and will most likely change as we get a rescue from Lizzie Andrew next season) - lack of offensive production in the middle. As they continuously camped out to block Rubin.. over and over and over again. Rubin, is fantastic but she isn’t hitting over the block.
Kami was the brightest spot in the team this match - despite the performance of the team, she played a fantastic game. Nebraska might have won, but Kami was the better setter in this match.
Oglivie will always be superb. I thought she played a better defensive game than Rodriguez of Nebraska.
Lastly, Baird. Stanford will live and die with Baird this season. As much as how offensive Kipp is, I feel like Baird as a 6-rotation OH influences the outcome of the game much more than a dominant Opp like Kipp.
Go Card!

Thanks for this. She’s a good one. Checked her instagram (I know, creepy).. following both Stanford volleyball and Stanford sports. So maybe a good sign. Harvey and Sayer for 2025!

Oglivie will always be superb. I thought she played a better defensive game than Rodriguez of Nebraska. As a fan of both teams, I can honestly say that my opinion here is biased in neither direction. However, I have to respectfully disagree with your opinion at the setter and libero positions. Numbers were virtually the same for Miner/Reilly and Rodriguez/Oglivie. The latter two were literally separated by 1 service error (Lexi 0, Elena 1) and 1 dig (Lexi 12, Elena 13). I believed all four played extremely well and were evenly matched throughout the match. Elena and Kami, along with Baird, were the bright stars for Stanford in the match. I just can't believe Rubin and her hitting numbers. Like shocking. I just wonder how Harvey or Blyashov would have done as an alternative.

I just wonder how Harvey or Blyashov would have done as an alternative. I thought Roddy outplayed Oglivie as her passing was better and she didn't overpass any balls IIRC. It wasn't a huge difference and I don't think it was something that changed the outcome of the match. Kami vs Bergen, maybe Kami was slightly better because she had to run around more due to Stanford's weaker passing, but again both setters gave their hitters balls that were both well timed and correctly located. Stanford lost this match due to an accumulation of "little things" as Hambly likes to call them. For example, the two net crawler aces by Harper Murray in set one seem to swing that set in Nebraska's favor when it felt like Stanford was controlling it. Stanford had more unforced hitting errors and overpasses. Nebraska was able to successfully tool the block more often than Stanford. And, Nebraska was able to close their block more effectively than Stanford's resulting in Elia Rubin's poor hitting numbers.

It was not all "little things." Nebraska matched them, but, in Stanford's two losses, a prodigious amount of service errors has played a role. Yes, no way you can serve lollipops at elite teams and win, but, again, like against Florida, the execution wasn't there. And, yes, Wisconsin has had the same issue, no doubt, but, to be elite, you have to serve tough without missing too many! Good side, just a little improvement there maybe switches set 1 against Nebraska and the close ones against Florida. Holy crud, have not gotten to see Miner much, due to my work schedule and no Pac 12 on my sports package in Wisconsin, because Spectrum is terrible, but my can she better the ball!

As much as how offensive Kipp is, I feel like Baird as a 6-rotation OH influences the outcome of the game much more than a dominant Opp like Kipp. Go Card! It won't help for this season, but I agree with you that our biggest weakness is the middle. Our middles just don't hold the opposing MB, allowing lots of double blocks against our pins. Defensively, sometimes are middles close the block well, sometimes not. Tonight it was hit and miss (pun intended). There were stretches where we didn't close, leaving gapping holes to hit through. It was much much worse against Florida though. Also, not saying it's easy, but we don't do well blocking the opposing setter's dumps. I feel that if the match continued, Bergen knew she could dump for a point whenever she needed. Same was true against Florida. That match only went 3 sets, but Stucky knew she could dump if she needed a point. As far as this season goes: there is only so much water you can squeeze out of a rock. Kami does a good job involving the middles, so at least the opposing team in the backs of their minds know we have MBs. Still, against a good team, the onus will be on our pins, because we are near the ceiling with what our middles can produce (imo). Defensively, our middles have the ability to shut down the opposition, if they play their very best. So that is what I will hope for. Francis has shown moments of offensive brilliance in the past, so I will hope for more of those too.
