Sadly, Stanford got blanked by UCLA today.
The Cardinal just couldn't recapture their crisp play of yesterday.
UCLA was without one of their usual #1 players (Maggie Boyd), but still handled Stanford.
Disappointing, but still nice that they finally beat UCLA once.
On to Gulf Shores.
The NCAA selection announcement is Sunday at 8:00am PDT.
On Volleytalk, USC fans were accusing UCLA of sandbagging by putting Whitmarsh & Newberry at the 5s. Looking at past UCLA matches, it does not seem to be the case; at least, not obviously so. UCLA is very deep in talent (they are going to lose a lot to graduation).
One more thing: I talked briefly to Angela Rock after today's matches. She said she was just "filling in" for the end of the season, because the assistant (Summer Nash) resigned. So that's why the assistant coach position has been posted.
Here's the announcement of Nash's hiring last spring:
