Damn, can't believe Texas finally started attacking again. Looked like they forgot how. And Cari needed to get more sets, she was hitting the best.

 

And how did the student section get so ugly since I was in school?

“You learn more from a loss”

nah, fuck that, volleyball is a confidence and momentum sport. Being able to WIN with your backs against the wall is a bigger learning moment because you know what your team is capable of achieving when they’re down

Question for those of you actually watching every match: is the setting that bad every time out? 

The passing was pretty abysmal

They can learn the same things from this win as they would have from this loss. But they also learned that they can win a match like this.

Did they not bench Swindle late?

That may have been the double sub, but my mind forgets me already. Binney and Devin come in late in sets

Okay I rewatched the fifth set

We were in the Hawaiian double sub with Binney and Devin from 5-10 to 13-13. Ella then came back in for Binney after Texas tied it at 13

Ella then set until 16-16 when Binney came in to serve. Stanford hitting errors were the final 2 points, she didn’t even set a ball 

Also the ballsiness of Ella to set Bunton at 14-15

Yeah, I looked it up in the box score play-by-play and saw the same thing.  Today is the 1st time I've put eyes on the team this season, and it usually takes me til halfway through conference play to figure out who/where everyone is and understand the rotations.  Thought it was odd that the starting S was off the floor for long stretches.

btw- I've been watching a shitload of college volleyball for the last 15 years or so.  I can't even remember the last foot fault I saw, and Stanford had THREE today.  wild.

We may need to credit the crowd for helping us win that 5th set….from caterpillar to butterfly….pulled this off…..congrats ladies.

Yeah, we were there. I was thinking the same thing. Crowd really, really brought the noise and made it a bit tougher on Tree there in the 5th. Loud AF.

Got damn, that was fun.

Yeah every time I started to complain about the setting today, I remembered how crazy the passing was. It wasn't our best day passing the ball, to put it nicely.

Yeah I didn't really see that as a 'benching' either. they were doing the same in the other sets, too, but Ella would always come back in. Weren't they just taking Ella out when she was heading to the back row & wouldn't be a factor in the block?

That was a passing match for Emma and Torrey to forget. But Gary! The matched turned with her impossible stab at 10-7

As a long time watcher, its usually the passing that makes the setting shitty, rather than the setting being shitty itself. Poor Chloe, among others.

That was absolutely the touch of the match for me. Fantastic.

Yes. Some matches it gets done in the middle of the set (the teen points) and sometimes it’s in the 20s / red zone for Devin’s block to be a factor in closing out a match 

It’s not even a 5-2, it’s just a double sub for 3 rotations for like a small stretch of a set. It’s not consistently every time Ella goes into the back row. Only sometimes
