Stanford won game 1, 30-25. Who are these announcers? Haven't a clue - - been waiting for them to ID themselves. Nothing so far. BTW, Nevada's leading in the 2nd, 14 - 6! Wow!

Stanford with all kinds of passing problems, they were out of rotation at one point and they aren't communicating, according to the announcers.
Nevada won game 3, don't know the score, and they just won game 4, 30-26. Game 5 coming up.
Salava'e for Nevada is having a great match. Nnamani has 23 kills.

Don't know for sure, but the guy announcer just called her "Amy", so I'm thinking the woman is the Stanford SID, Amy Dobrovski (sp?). Stanford could be tired - - two 5-set games in one day!

Stanford survives, 15-11 in game 5.
Salave'a had 27 kills for Nevada, I think Nnamani had 25.

What is up with Stanford's struggles right now. I thought they would actually be playing pretty good now that Ogonna Nnamani is back in the line-up. Is anyone missing or out of the lineup?

Passing and backrow defense have been a problem for the Cardinal over the last 2 years, and from the match reports, likely will remain big problem for the Cardinal this season (they need to go out and recruit a top-notch passer). As they say, offense begins with good passing. It certainly does not help that their MBs are young and inexperienced -- a freshie and soph who saw very little playing time, if any, last year. So you could take out the MBs in transition and camp your blocks on Richards and Nnamani. I would like to see how Hucke has improved this year. Last year, she was kind of limited in her hitting, her best being sneaking behind the MB for the high 2.

Stanford appears to be WAY OVERRATED at #6 right now. I expect that they will fall several spots this week, and perhaps even more as the season progresses. I thought that they might be Final Four material, but beginning to have my doubts....Still like Nebraska and U$C as two of the four finalists. Not sure about Florida yet, and UCLA looks awfully strong!

Richards and Nnamani are soooooo legit...right now Stanford has no middle game so they are going to struggle for a while.
Hucke was pretty much non-existant against Nevada and I think that's why she was taken out...this team could really use an Ashley Ivy right now.
Nevada had no answer for Richard's hits down the line. Definitely a rough one for the Cardinal but they showed some heart by pulling it out in game 5.

Stanford could end up at #6, but right now they are not deserving of that ranking......it will be interesting to see just how good they are next year....pick up some great recruits, but lose Nnamani, who is legitimately a POY calibre player.....if they don't really come together this year, they may continue to eat U$C's dust for a looooong time Now that would break my heart....

I was actually surprised to see Stanford ranked so high, especially ahead of Washington, who I think has the best chance of upseating USC and winning the Pac-10 Championship (and reach their first Final Four). The young middles are just too inexperienced for us to really be a factor and our passing will have to get better. I know that Leahi Hall is doing a good job at just improving herself at passing, so hopefully her hard work will pay off at the end of the season. I also think that by the time the end of the year rolls around, the middles will be in much better shape. I think Franci Girad will make an impact this year... she'll just need some seasoning, just like Liz Suiter. I expect them to take their lumps right now, but come November, we'll be a much different (and better) team.
