I watched (in person) Stanford get upset by #16 LBSU, 2-3.  The 1s team of Hodel & Reilly jumped out to a big lead in their first set, then LBSU narrowed the gap. But Hodel/Reilly held on for that set.  Unfortunately, they couldn't put it away in the second, and also lost the third.

Hodel's shoulder had a lot of tape, and it looked like she couldn't swing with full strength.

Note that the music played on site was much lower volume than some past years.  You could hardly notice it from the west end. Beautiful weather.

I didn't stay for the later dual vs. #11 Cal Poly, but I did catch some of the later sets on the live streams.  Stanford won that 4-1, with only the 5s losing.  For this meet, Hodel & Reilly moved down to 2s, and Ekstrom & Kriz moved up to the 1s.  Charlie Ekstrom picked up her 50th and 51st career wins.

They play again tomorrow at Noon and 4pm, and I expect them to beat unranked St. Mary's and UCDavis.

Speaking of the live streams, I ran into a problem that i have seen before with some Pac-12 streams.  Not sure if it is my browser or their player.  But clicking the "Live" button will cause the video to replay from when I first started, while a notice pops up and says "You are live".  Going from the small window to full screen will cause the same thing.  The only way to fix this (AFAICT) is to close the browser window, reclick the stream link, and immediately go to full screen.
