I think Julia burned her redshirt already... yes, they played her when Baird was injured She also played in the first match of the tournament. |

lmao. I don't care for either team but Texas winning after getting crushed in the regular season has to feel so, so good. ALMOST as good as 2016 when Nebraska swept Texas in the VERT challenge in Oregon to start the season, and Texas repaid the favor in the national semi-finals in Columbus, OH with a sweep to prevent undefeated #1 Nebraska from playing for consecutive titles . . . |

Stanford with another choke job…against Texas no less… I wouldn't call it a choke job tonight, Texas outplayed Stanford. It wasn't a huge difference but it was enough. Skinner was a beast and went around or over the Stanford block with impunity. She was the Player of the Match without a doubt. The other important winning factor for Texas was their passing which was better than I (and many others) expected it to be. Stanford needed to win the serve and pass game and it felt like edge Texas. |

Not necessarily a choke job especially the way Texas has been playing…but Stanford was the better team imo and if u got outplayed by team you’re better than than it is a choke job |

well if that's true and she doesn't get the redshirt. what a waste of a season for such a bright talent.
i've never been sold on Caite Baird. if you can pass you can play IMO also if you're not going to show energy in a game all about momentum... what are you doing for your team. just a sub-par hitter, not a consistent blocker, defense is meh, and her serve was ok . not a outlet hitter you need to win a Championship.

why wasn't kipp set more... baird in my opinion should be been subbed out for Julia ... but i'm guessing they are going to redshirt her.. i would have set rubin more, if kipp wasn't 100 percent. at somepoint service pressure isn't as important as putting the ball in play and trusting your team. last time i checked... volleyball is a team sport. but shucks. as irritating as it is. I'm excited to see what next years cardinal will be. kuddos to maddie skinner, she can hit cross court against a team that didn't adjust. Kipp wasn't that terminal tonight, so not sure if that would have made much of a difference. I don't think Stanford can redshirt Blyashov because she played in some matches this season, unless the redshirt rules have changed. Stanford will be ok next year, probably not NCAA Championship material, but ranking somewhere around #10 nationally. They bring back Rubin, Miner, Oglivie, and Francis. Blyashov will replace Baird. Andrew (new recruit) will replace Vicini, and likely Harvey replaces Kipp. Because Pitt is loaded, Stanford finishes either 2nd or 3rd in the ACC if they can manage the travel ok. |
