You can sort by various metrics. Click on the top tabs to see overall or conference-only stats. Now that we're almost halfway through the conference season, conference-only stats are a good way to compare players who have played very similar schedules.

For example, I looked for the kills/set leaders on both teams (through #50 in the PAC). Here are the leaders in kills/set, looking only at PAC-12 matches:

                                               kills/set       hitting %       aces/set       blocks/set     digs/set     assists/set    points/set

Caitie Baird (OH)	3.85	.241	0.31	0.74	1.95	0.23	4.6
Kendall Kipp (Opp)	3.64	.347	0.36	0.81	1.21	0.03	4.6
Sofia Maldonado Diaz (OH)	3.36	.175	0.28	0.50	1.64	0.17	3.9
Sami Francis (OH)	3.10	.237	0.03	0.62	0.33	0.10	3.5
Puk Stubbe (Opp)	2.88	.288	0.12	0.42	2.03	0.24	3.2
Jaelyn Hodge (OH)	2.72	.088	0.03	0.56	1.61	0.03	3.1

Stanford struggled against the WA schools, but Baird wasn't 100% due to a cold. Even with her not at 100%, Stanford has too many weapons to be concerned by AZ. AZ could get a set though if they play their level, especially since this game is in AZ.

This was a massacre the first time. I think (or hope, maybe) it will be a better match even if it is a straight-set Cardinal victory. But I think it will be a Stanford win even if Arizona ups the level of play to grab a set.

First game might’ve been the worst volleyball I’ve ever seen Arizona play (well worst this season, nothing is worse than their second game against Utah last season). Hope to see a little more fight this time around. The size advantage is just so tough and pronounced.

Stanford wins

[neurovolley]

Card should win. I'm more nervous about their match against ASU

[kimdc]

Everyone who has played this season appears to be healthy for Arizona. That's the good news. Just hope they can make this competitive. I expect the loss, but I l like to see entertaining volleyball.

Anyway, here's the preview from the Arizona side of things. As always, it includes both matches for the weekend.

I agree, but they could be looking ahead, making this the trap match. I hope it’s good volleyball

[hayven]

What happened to Ware? I thought she committed to ‘Zona with the intention of playing volleyball and basketball

[bobbk]

Ware is playing basketball only for the second year.

Yes -- could be same thing that Baird and Miner had, but just a guess
