This will be interesting for both teams. Stanford has the chance to prove they're the best team in nation like most believe. For Penn state, who's a young team, it's a great measuring stick. Great early match for both teams. Will Haleigh Washington play. I know she number 1 recruit but that's def throwing the rookie straight in the fire for first match. Hope she plays. Thoughts ?

Should be a great match. PSU has more firepower, Stanford probably more complete (at this point) Micha's serve is the wild-card.

Stanford's got a better setter, better middles, better ball control. Micha's serve wasn't the wild card last time, Nia's was. It's gonna come down to Stanford's left's ability to score. If Stanford's pins can score, I think they win.

If Stanford's pins can score, I think they win. That was last year, one match. I think its fairly well established that Micha's serving has been a deal changer in matches more than Nia Grant. I agree Stanford's pin hitters ability to score is huge, also how PSU freshman play in that environment, match at that level. Don't think the match will disappoint, its a "pick'em" match as far as I can see.

Stanford in four. Stanford has better middles, and better floor defense. Penn state MIGHT, have an advantage at the pins, but that depends how the freshman play. Setting I would say they're equal.

What kind of crowd does Stanford typically get this early? Classes don't start for a few more weeks, right? Not sure the "environment" will be a factor in terms of location (not saying that's what you meant, dorothy), but definitely in terms of nerves/opponent. Stanford also has to travel back today, so they will also be adjusting (albeit earlier and one less timezone) to travel.

I have to go with Stanford here (shocking, I know). More experience and a defense that could make things extremely tough for a bunch of inexperienced hitters. PSU has a ton of talent, but I cannot see that talent trumping the talent *and* experience of Stanford.
I know it was just three matches, but Micha needs to get her serve going next weekend. That has been a huge boost for this team in the last few years. It can make a huge difference and relieve some pressure on the freshmen who will have to play.

Don't change your habit, PSU always disappointed you the last few years.

People should check out dish network. I get pac12, BTN, SEC, Longhorn, WatchESPN, etc. Also, if you convert, I get the refer-a-friend discount!
