I wanted to add this after the game, but it was late and I was tired.
Ogonna Nnamani was interviewed by Andrew Rodgers (sp?) after the game and she basically said (mind you, I'm paraphrasing here) it is tough on her team that she wasn't able to practice with them for so long while she was in Colorado Springs with the National Team and she's getting used to the systems again and the setters as well playing with her Stanford mates as they are with her.
She also said, that they're working out the kinks and expect to be much better as the season progresses.
When asked about the difference between playing with the National Team and with Stanford, she said the speed of the games are much different but you play the game as best you can, with the ultimate goal of always wanting to win.
As Dombroski said during the game, it's early in the season. Get the kinks out because when all is said and done, it is what you do in the latter part of the season that gets you noticed, especially for post season play.
Stanford has a lot of work to do, but they've always come through and I don't expect this year will be any different.
