One of the best matches of the year against two evenly matched
teams. In a nutshell, the battle was Abernathy and Glass (from AZ)
versus Richards and Akinradewo from Stanford. I would say
Abernathy and Glass were a more powerful hitting duo than Richards
and Akinradewo, but Stanford's defense and blocking tended to even
things
out.
Stanford's BIG mistake in this match was losing game one when they
had a 26-21 lead. As pointed out below, allowing nine straight points
on serve, is not acceptable at this level of volleyball.
Not having Barboza in this match really hurt. At times AZ was
able to "camp" on Richards as she was the only "A" hitter Stanford
had on the court.
