Men's Volleyball vs UCLA 3/27/2026 - Stanford Cardinal - Official Athletics Website
Could have been worse. At that level, it's partly a matter of who makes the fewest errors. UCLA made 32 errors all match (12 hitting, 0 setting, 15 serving, 2 blocking, 3 serve receive) and Stanford made 37 (18 hitting, 1 setting, 7 serving, 2 blocking, 9 serve receive--Nate Clinton 5, Alex Rottman 4). The nine serve receive errors is a killer, it's a sign of a team not passing particularly well while the other team was serving devastatingly well -- UCLA's 15 serve errors indicated that they were loading up on hard serves all night.
Rematch tonight at 6 p.m., same place, Maples Pavilion.
