In a game as fast as volleyball, muscle memory and team chemistry are just as important as raw talent or game knowledge. Still without a consistent roster, the Stanford women’s volleyball team struggled to keep pace with No. 9 Utah (10-2, 10-2 Pac-12) this weekend, dropping both matches in four sets.
Juggling COVID-19 issues and injuries, the Cardinal (1-5, 1-5 Pac-12) started different lineups in each match. Redshirt freshman outside Caitie Baird was unable to play Friday, while freshman middle Annabelle Smith could not compete on Sunday. For the second match, sophomore pin hitter Kendall Kipp moved to the middle, and senior Mackenzie Fidelak took over at opposite.
