I did not give the scoring Friday night, but was asked to provide
it, so you will find it below.

I worked until about 5:30 AM Friday, got about an hour in bed but
no sleep, then went back in before 8 AM to join a telephone
conference call before a 9 AM all hands meeting, so by the time
I finished writing up who had played (at nearly 3 AM Saturday),
I was unable to continue.  I thought I might post the scoring
after reporting on Saturday night's match, but I was falling
asleep while finishing that message ...

So here it is, finally.

I'll leave the previous post quoted here, just in case anyone
wants to scroll up and down without having to switch to another
message.

That should be enough.

Stanford won, 30-24, 26-30, 30-27, 24-30, 15-10.  Side-out
scores were 16-10, 12-16, 16-13, 11-17, 9-4.  If I remember
the stats from KZSU (heard on my way home, a few hours ago),
Stanford was out-hit by Cal, .172 to .162 (I'm confident that
the first two digits of those numbers are correct, but would
not want to bet on the last digits, except the two last digits
are within two of each other.  But I no longer bet on my memory).
Another odd factoid:  the team serving first won every game.

Cal played:  Samantha Carter (S), Jenna Brown (OPP), Alicia Powers
(MB), Ellen Orchard (MB), Alexis Kollias (DS; Morgan Beck played
OH in the front row; ( Bryte Nielson played back row for two points
in game three), and Angie Pressey (OH).  Libero Jillian Davis
played for the middles, serving for Orchard.

Stanford played:  Katie Goldhahn (S; Michelle Mellard replaced her
to block occasionally on Stanford's serve - Nji Nnamani set on those
plays.  Mellard was in for one point in game one, two points in game
three; and one point in game four), Nji Nnamani (OPP),
Foluke Akinradewo (MB), Lizzie Suiter (MB; Franci Girard replaced her
for the last three front-row points of the match), Franci Girard (OH;
Erin Waller played front row from 11-13 in game two to 28-27 in game
three, and replaced Fishburn on rotating to the front row the first
time in game four, but Girard came back in to the front row at 1-3;
Waller played all the front row in game 5;  Jessica Fishburn played
all the back row), and Kristin Richards (OH).  Libero Courtney Schultz
played for the middles, serving for Suiter and Girard.

But now I'm too tired to continue, so check the Stanford web site
for more information.

    the last two off overpasses of Schultz's serve, Cal called
    time-out at 25-28.  When play resumed, Pressey got a kill
    off the block for a side-out and game point.  Akinradewo then

    for a kill and then Cal hit one into the net, so they called
    their last time-out at 27-25.  When play resumed, Suiter killed
    an overpass of Richard's serve.  But Cal got a kill (from the
    right side, but I did not catch the hitter) and then Stanford
    hit one long, so they called their last time-out at 28-27.
    Richards then hit one from the back row, off the top of a triple
    block and long to give Stanford game point.  An ace for Schultz
    closed out the game].

Game Four (California served first):
  ,,1-1 1-10 [no, not a typo.  Jenna Brown hit one into the block
    for the side-out, then Brown and Orchard got a block before
    Stanford hit it into the net on three straight points, forcing
    the Cardinal to call time-out at 1-5.  It did not help - Beck
    hit one off the block, a Cardinal hitting error (the referee
    said there was no touch - I'm glad I didn't have to decide that
    question), and kills by Beck and Brown got Stanford to call
    their last time-out at 1-9.  But another hitting error made it
    1-10 before Girard got a roll shot down for the side-out]
    ,2-10 3-10 ,,4-11 5-11 ,,,,,7-14 7-17 ,8-17 9-17 ,9-18.
  9-19 ,10-19 11-19 ,,,,13-21 14-21 ,,15-22 17-22 [Cal called their
    first time-out after Goldhahn got a kill and combined with
    Akinradewo for a block after a long rally.  Beck rolled one to
    the back line for the side-out] ,,18-23 20-23 ,20-24 20-25
    ,21-25 23-25 ,23-26.
  ,,24-27 24-30 [a service error opened the door (sound familiar?),
    and the Bears pounced on it.  Beck got a tip to fall (and induced
    at least one Cardinal into the net) for 24-28, then a triple
    block by Beck, Orchard, and Brown gave the Bears game point.
    Beck got a kill to end it].

Game Five (Stanford served first):
  5-0 [Waller got a kill off an assist from Akinradewo, then after
    a great save by Schultz, Akinradewo put down a quick set.  Two
    Bear errors led to a Cal time-out at 4-0.  A Cal hitting error
    made it 5-0 before Orchard hit one into the block for a side-out]
    ,,,,7-2 8-2 [a block by Goldhahn and Akinradewo makes it 8-2 for
    the side change] ,,,,,,11-5 12-5 ,12-6 12-10 ,13-10.
  15-10 [repeat after me, "a service error opened the door" after
    the Bears had scored four service winners with two blocks,
    a kill, and a Cardinal hitting error.  A block by Nnamani and
    Akinradewo gave Stanford match point, and a Bear hitting error
    ended it].

Whew!  I get exhausted just writing about it.

Take care.
