And a special shout-out for Sunny Villapando, who became Stanford's BVB player with the most wins, surpassing Morgan Hentz:

Stanford beat Hawaii 4-1, but they are still ranked eight places higher. It's kind of ridiculous; they are really riding on their reputation.
Stanford moves up one spot, from 19 back to 18, where they were a few weeks ago. Hawaii (1-1) falls from tied for 5th to 10th.

Perhaps if Stanford beats #8 GCU on Thursday they'll get some respect.

Stanford beach team playing Arizona State. No livestream or live stats. This report from Stanfordbeach vb twitter:
Two sweeps to start the match
» Hodel/Reilly 21-13, 21-12
» Dailey/McKinney 21-19, 21-9
Apparently two impressive wins for Stanford thus far.

The scores vs ASU
RE: Stanford Beach Volleyball -
johnbar - 03-25-2021
So far, 1-1 with GCU.
RE: Stanford Beach Volleyball - Softball Fan - 03-25-2021
Stanford takes down #8 Grand Canyon 3-2. And there was no livestream to watch.

That's two top-10 wins, I think. Go sandinistas!

Yes two wins over top 10 Hawaii and Grand Canyon
Hawaii hit my Covid restrictions and grad losses however and probably ranked too high
Congrats Card

One of their tweets says this is the first time Stanford has beaten two top 10 teams in one season.

Maybe this belongs in the WVB thread, but:
Alix Klineman fn April Ross have officially qualified for the 2021 Olympics.

Stanford takes on Arizona and Utah tomorrow, ASU and Washington on Sunday, all on Pac-12 networks.

The Pac-12 BA on-screen guide says beach volleyball, but they're showing some old football game instead. :(
RE: Stanford Beach Volleyball -
johnbar - 03-27-2021
Stanford up 2-1, with the 3s and 4 going to a third set.
Stanford 4s give us the win, 3-2. (The 3s lose a close one, 16-14 in the third. )
RE: Stanford Beach Volleyball - Softball Fan - 03-27-2021
Beautiful playing conditions. Not too hot and no wind.
That was some high level college beach volleyball. If Stanford had been able to hold on to the Nourse twins Stanford would be a top five team.
RE: Stanford Beach Volleyball -

Taking it to Utah now. Stanford up 1-0 right now, could be a sweep.
And there it is. UU didn't score more than 18 in any set.
RE: Stanford Beach Volleyball -

Stanford squeaks by ASU, 3-2. Came down to a three-set win at the 2s. Maybe Hodel & Reilly got a slow start? Set scores: 17-21, 21-8, 15-9.
They finish the road trip against UW later this afternoon.

Apparently there was a mistake in the scores earlier. Stanford also won at the 5s, making it a 4-1 win.
And the stats for the meet with UW are confused. They have the Stanford players listed as Huskies, and vice versa.

Stanford beats Washington 4-1
Stanford is now 11-3.
