Stanford
“Both teams are senior-laden teams, and that was an absolute battle,” said head coach John Kosty. “Kyle Russell came in and did a really nice job of serving for Irvine to put them up [in the fifth set]. And then, we threw our serving specialist at them in Scott Sakaida”
“What Scott did was create point-scoring opportunities for us. He wasn’t going to get any aces, but he did a nice job giving us opportunities to score.”
“Irvin chasing down that ball in the last rally of the match, and us being patient in that situation, was key,” added Kosty. “We didn’t go for the kill right away. We wanted to see if we could get a better opportunity and we did.”
“I think they have been doing it with patience and confidence,” said Kosty, referring to the team’s current winning streak.
“We have to keep elevating our game,” said Kosty. “Pepperdine is going to come out tough and they are also a good serving team. We understand what we are good at and we understand how Stanford volleyball wins, and we just have to keep it simple.”
