Beavers Fall to No. 3 Stanford
October 05, 2019 | Women's Volleyball
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Amy Underdown knocked down a season-high 11 kills to pace the offense Saturday night, but it wasn't enough as the Beavers' fell to No. 3 Stanford in three sets.
OSU's record dropped to 8-7 overall and 2-2 in the Pac-12, while Stanford's record improved to 9-3, 3-1. Set scores were 12-25, 21-25 and 25-27.
"We had a much better overall effort tonight," head coach Mark Barnard said. "I thought Serena Bruin and Grace Massey were outstanding. We'll get back to work next week to get ready for the Washington trip."
Oregon State had a strong start to the match notching a block by Haylie Bennett and Serena Bruin on the first play of the game, and remained close with the score tied at 6-6. However, the Beavers hit a lull unable to string consecutive points together through the rest of the opening set and the Cardinal pulled away to take the set, 25-12.
OSU played from behind from the early-going of the second set trailing 11-8. The Beavers pulling together a short run behind a trio of kills from Underdown and a block and kill by Bruin to take the lead at 14-13. Stanford answered re-taking the lead at 17-14 and pushed it to 23-18. Underdown tallied another kill and the OSU used a pair of Stanford errors to close the gap to 23-21, but it wasn't enough as the Cardinal held on to take the set, 25-21.
The Beavers kept up the fight through the third set opening a four-point lead at 9-5 following back-to-back kills by Chloe Brown and Bennett. OSU continued to hang on to that lead at 14-10 on a pair of Underdown kills. But the Cardinal fired back to tie the score at 15-15. The score stayed tight the rest of the way with six more ties in the set. Stanford finally took the lead at 24-23 but the Beavers fought off a pair of match points before falling, 25-27.
Game Notes: Amy Underdown, who led the Beavers in kills in 2018, registered a season-best 11 kills against the Cardinal … Grace Massey collected 18 digs to lead the back row defense while Kory Cheshire notched a team-high five blocks … Serena Bruin tallied six kills with no errors and added three blocks.
Next Up: Oregon State goes on the road next week to the Evergreen State. The Beavers face Washington on Friday in Seattle and then Washington State on Sunday in Pullman.
