    Play-off Competition “X-Rays” Stanford`s Body of Work

    Stanford 2015 women`s volleyball season was structurally sound and strong in over-all performance, but the abrupt LMU tournament loss brought to light two consistent glaring areas of Cardinal team skill underdevelopment: inconsistent “vanilla” floater serves, 90% of the time directed to the LMU libero… (brain cramp?) And few Cardinal defensive answers for LMU`s slide step spike. I wonder what the Cardinal will work on this spring?

    Cardinal Big Picture Perspective
    Losing the Player of the Year (Inky + All-American Jordan Burgess hampered by injuries) =
    John Dunning as Coach of the Year! (in my book!) Thank You Cardinal for a thrilling year!
