Quick Notes:
>> WSU is a perfect 10-0 against unranked teams this season after Friday's win at Cal and has now won 21 straight against unranked opponents dating back to last season.  The Cougs are still seeking their first top-25 win of the season.
>> Washington State ranks second in the Pac-12 in aces/set (1.92) and second in total aces (96).  The Cougs had five aces as a team Friday vs Cal.
>> The Cougars are 13^th in the nation and third in the Pac-12 in hitting (.292).  WSU is 10-0 in matches with a higher hitting percentage than its opponents and out-hit Cal .368 - .035 as a team in Friday night's sweep.
>> Magda Jehlarova is the Pac-12's active leader in blocks/set (1.42) and is third in active career hitting percentage (.366).  Jehlarova is top-10 in all major career blocking categories at WSU including her 1.42 blocks/set which ranks second all-time.
>> Jehlarova's 11 blocks against Cal were the most in program history for a three-set match and a new career-best.  She also had a team-best .545 hitting, needing only 22 swings from the middle to reach her match-high 13 kills against Cal.
>> Pia Timmer also tied for the team-lead with 13 kills in Friday's sweep at Cal including six  kills on only 10 swings in a dominant second set for the Cougs.  Timmer surpassed the 1,000 career kills mark in the first set vs. Cal and later passed head coach Jen Greeny (Stinson) on the all-time career kills list (1,011).
>> The Cougars' season averages of .292 hitting and 1.92 aces/set would both rank as the best single-season averages all-time.
Stanford Notes
>>  The Cardinal split their first Pac-12 weekend, falling in three to No. 21 Oregon, before taking out No. 17 Washington in four sets on Friday night.
>> The Cardinal opened the season with three straight non-conference wins which was capped by a five-set win on the road at No. 13 Florida (Aug. 30).  Stanford was swept by top-ranked Texas (Sept. 4) in its home opener the following week before splitting a pair of top-25 matches in the Big 10/Pac-12 Challenge.  Stanford fell in five to No. 20 Penn State (Sept. 9) but bounced back the following night to knock off third-ranked Minnesota (Sept. 10) on the Gophers' home court.  The Cardinal also knocked off second-ranked Nebraska (Sept. 13) in four sets on the road but fell in four back home in Maples Pavilion at the hands of No. 3 Louisville (Sept. 17).
>> Opposite hitter Kendall Kipp ranks fourth in the Pac-12 with 4.15 kills set while outside Caitie Baird is averaging 3.25 k/s.  Middles Sami Francis (1.52), McKenna Vicini (1.25), and Annabelle Smith (1.08) are all averaging over a block per set.
