SEATTLE - Eighth-ranked Washington returns to action this weekend after a one-week layoff, and closes out its home season with two matches against the rival Stanford Cardinal. The Huskies at 13-3 remain in the hunt for a Pac-12 title and with just four matches remaining in the regular season, every opportunity is crucial. Friday the Huskies and Cardinal will square off at 5 p.m. and then Sunday the teams will meet again at 12 noon. Both matches will be televised live on the Pac-12 Networks.
Sunday's match will be Senior Day for the Dawgs, who will recognize senior Maria Bogomolova during a pre-match ceremony. "Boga" has been instrumental in Washington's serving success during her career with 49 aces and has been a selfless and caring teammate and the most passionate Dawg.
Washington remains in second-place in the Pac-12 with a 13-3 record, trailing Washington State with a 10-2 mark that is slightly better percentage-wise. The two teams were scheduled to clash last week, but the series had to be canceled due to Covid-19 developments withing the WSU program and the matches will not be made up. Utah and Oregon are right on UW's tail as the Utes are 12-4 and the Ducks are 11-3, with UCLA in the picture at 12-6. Last week was the first time the Huskies have had matches canceled this season. UCLA, Arizona, and Cal are now the only schools that have played their full schedule thus far.
Stanford has been the team hit hardest by the pandemic. Due to county restrictions, the Cardinal were only able to begin practicing at the end of January, canceling their first four matches. To date, Stanford has played just eight matches, going 2-6. Last week, Stanford swept Arizona State at home but dropped the rematch in five sets. Besides the pandemic, Stanford also lost one of the best senior classes in history which produced three NCAA titles in four years. Senior Meghan McClure remains one of the best all-around hitters in the Pac-12, averaging 3.00 kills per set, 0.32 aces, and 2.84 digs per set. Freshmen Caitie Baird and McKenna Vicini have excelled in the limited season. Baird posts 3.33 kills/set and Vicini is hitting .323 with 1.74 kills/set.
