With conference play just around the corner, No. 2 Stanford and No. 8 Texas are going head-to-head this weekend in a battle of the volleyball greats.
The defending champion Longhorns went into the preseason ranked No. 1, but have plummeted seven spots after dropping two five-set upsets to Minnesota and Miami within a week. They are now 3-2, and it's uncertain if they will be able to overcome a hot Stanford squad.
In Texas' match against Miami, senior Madisen Skinner notched a team-high 20 kills and middle blocker Marianna Singeltary had a career-high 12 kills and six blocks. Despite starting out two sets to none, the Hurricanes were able to come back and hand the Longhorns their first unranked loss since 2014.
Stanford has had a smoother start to the season so far, sitting at 6-0 with wins over three ranked opponents.
In Stanford's 3-1 win over UC Santa Barbara, middle blocker Sami Francis registered a career-high 10 blocks and nine kills on 16 errorless swings. Setter Kami Miner continued to run the offense swimmingly, with outside Elia Rubin leading the team in kills.
It's a volleyball matchup as old as time — who will claim the win in their 15th overall meeting?
