11. How did Nebraska almost Pull it Off!?  Right Side Attack: Mostly to Outside Hitters vs. predominantly Hodge  Made Passers Bend and Served Everyone (no target)  Pipe to Right Back  Center Back Defense vs. Fawcett (32 Digs)  Very few tips / Off speed ------ Lots of high hands Larson/Mueller

12. Stanford Game Plan Strategy  Barboza and Klineman Must hit high/hard off block No short tips over block No passive roll shots  Must have high efficiency attack in the middle (Akinradewo/Okagbaa) Last year’s championship match / 5 games Akinradewo 18 – 1 – 40.425 Girard 10 – 2 – 20.400  Thursday vs. Texas Akinradewo17 - 3 – 31.452 Okagbaa1 – 4 – 10-.300 Okagbaa first / only kill not until game 4  Great defense, “Nebraska blue collar” work ethic will get Nebraska crowd invested in cheering for/pushing Stanford

13. Stanford Game Plan Strategy  SERVE, HARD, FLAT WITH PACE The high “lollipup” short serve has not been effective all year. Low short serve that drops off; much more effective. Trying to serve Hodge as a primary tactic has not been effective all year. (2.3 vs Nebraska) Nebraska attempted to serve Fawcett. Fawcett passed only 1.8 vs Nebraska. Holehouse and Hodge try to help her taking seams or cutting in front of her. Holehouse 2.4

14. Stanford Game Plan Strategy Key factor last year vs. Penn State in Championship match: Stanford 9 aces / 11 errors: aggressive serving Learn from Nebraska: After down 0-2, Cook says in interview: “we must serve tougher to win” Game 3 Penn State passes 1.9 Stanford: start the match with tougher serving.
