Below is a hitting allocation chart I made for Game 2 of last Friday night's
Stanford-Washington match. The Cardinal took both this particular game/set and the match as a whole,
10-25, 28-26,
10-25, 26-24, 15-7. The chart shows which players took hitting attempts off of serve-receipt, from where on the court, at what angle, and with what result. An introduction to the notation is available from this
earlier posting in which I introduced the chart. One new piece of terminology today is that an offensive "reboot" is when a spike attempt is blocked back to the attacking team, which then starts over. For this chart, I tried harder to catch the names of the specific players taking each swing, but I was not always successful. You may click on the graphic to enlarge it.
I don't think there are really any big surprises here. Stanford went heavily to middle-blocker Carly Wopat, both in the middle and on the slide play to the right, and she produced several kills. Washington often called the number of outside hitter Krista Vansant, with mixed results.
The Huskies
go down to Los Angeles this weekend to face USC (Friday) and UCLA (Sunday) in a pair of marquee match-ups.
