Stanford started finding their form with Kipp back last match, but they will struggle to defend WA's many weapons. I give the nod to WA for the win.

Kipp being 11th in the conference in blocks per set despite being a pin blocker #onlyqueenthings Yes, her blocks per set number is actually higher than Campbell's lol. Also, if we're looking at conference only, she is #4 as of right now. |

Kipp being 11th in the conference in blocks per set despite being a pin blocker #onlyqueenthings If you had Kipp and Magda paired up, that would be a left side hitters worst nightmare. |

This is just a bad match up plain and simple for the Card. On attack, the one advantage the Card has is Francis vs EMP, but Francis usually has trouble hitting line unless her sets are perfect. Stanford might be able to take one set if their servers can bunch togther some really tough serves avoiding the all too common errors that have plagued them throughout the season. Realistically my expectation is a 3-0 sweep for the Dawgs because they know how to close sets unlike the House of Card. |

Kipp being 11th in the conference in blocks per set despite being a pin blocker #onlyqueenthings I am not at all saying this is bad, but she has 2 solo blocks and 75 assists. So yeah, she has a lot of blocks for a pin hitter, but that really means she plays alongside (and works well with) two very good middles. It's not so much that Kipp is a block miracle worker as it is that Stanford has the best team block in the conference this season. Vicini has 102 assisted blocks this season, and I dare say that many of those probably featured Kipp alongside her. |

Realistically my expectation is a 3-0 sweep for the Dawgs because they know how to close sets unlike the House of Card. Statistically it looks pretty even, with UW's primary advantage being in serving and setting. In the previous match, UW targeted Baird and Lougeay in serve-receive. Baird had been sick, however, and wasn't at her best. Ball control and floor defense have been the Achilles heel for both teams. Stanford clearly wants to get Kipp on Hoffman (especially considering that she hit .550 last time), with Miner on Endsley (or Bush, if healthy). Cook started Bush (over Endsley) to get a longer (6'3") blocker on Kipp. Both coaches could be rolling the dice right out of the gate, trying to get their desired matchup. Historically, UW can have issues with service errors at Stanford. Some of that comes from UW putting a lot of emphasis on serving "tough", which can backfire. |

Endsley looks like a better matchup for Stanford, but I'm not familiar with her blocking acumen. Endsley always impressed me as someone who hit a very heavy ball, but didn't exactly have the a big vertical. Endsley would probably do fine against MIner since she's still learning how to block AND she can't penetrate like Kipp. U-Dub could probably take their foot off the serving gas somewhat and target Baird and Beaven (assuming Lougeay isn't back from her injury). Baird had numerous poor passes over the previous four matches and Beaven hasn't been exactly lighting it up either in the passing department. We're not certain Baird is 100% either, because her face looked so pale last weekend. |

We're not certain Baird is 100% either, because her face looked so pale last weekend. UW's weakest rotation is with Hoffman and Drechsel in the backrow and Endsley/Bush, Grote, and Powell in the frontrow. It behooves Stanford here to serve tough to get UW out of system and limit Powell's options, forcing her to dump the ball to Endsley/Bush. I doubt that UW will "take their foot off the serving gas," in that serving is UW's main edge. That said, UW is not USC. Stanford, on the other hand, has to serve tough to get UW out of system, or UW is liable to steamroll them. |

I'll go Dawgs in a sweep. UW will serve Stanford too tough and put up a great block. Also, their D seems quicker than it has in the past. Stanford is still reeling after that spate of injuries. Miner looked tentative against OSU, and Kipp finally came around in games 3 and 4. Francis is still a work not much in progress. The middles are competent blockers, but struggle with good opposing middles and can't be trusted to score consistently. Yeah, UW 3-0. Oh yeah, Stanford's D is awful!
