A heart-breaking loss for a championship-quality team.Â
We've seen those announcers a lot. Their familiarity with Stanford is really strong. But what I heard was a broadcast that was too complimentary of Stanford in the first two sets, and throughout. We hear that all the time with the East Coast announcers fawning over the East Coast teams. This is one of the few times I've heard it in Stanford's favor. (Don't get me wrong, I like these announcers, but it was almost embarrassing that they were touting Stanford in the midst of the struggles.)
Congrats to Merete for her career at Stanford. I'm glad she had a good night for her last game. Congrats to the team for doing well, even if they and we may have hoped for more. As noted, we've got a good group that have another two chances. Maybe this loss will inspire the team to be even better next year.
Thanks for the season.
