Projected Lineups - These are old. I'm sick. If I have time later, I'll update. Otherwise these are probably better than no lineups.

Other than Pantovic for Cal, are any players out/unavailable for either team? What's up with Smoot?

Baytree, thanks for setting up these match threads. I hope you feel better, not doing too well myself.

Still no sighting of Pantovic, but Grote is back, she played Fri vs Colorado. Smoot however may be out, don't think she was dressed on Fri.

I expect the lineup to be a 6-2 with
Mirkovic and Grote at OH
Hamm and Bergmark at MB
Maeder and Jensen at S
Schmidt and Lilomaiva at Opp
Bellizi/Desa/Clark/Shrag have been rotating at L/DS in the order listed

But I hope they try a 5-1 with
Mirjovic and Schmidt/Tampaeneau at OH
Maeder at S
Grote as 6 rotation opposite

Grote brings some much needed positive energy when she's on the court, hopefully it will propel the team forward

I root for them when they don't play Stanford. I want to see them return to their former glory or at least be consistently a middle of the PAC team.
