VB | Gaels Challenge No. 4 Stanford To End Non-Conference

MORAGA, Calif. — The Saint Mary's women's volleyball team closed out its non-conference schedule Friday night by giving a strong challenge to the defending national champion, but No. 4 Stanford held off the Gaels at McKeon Pavilion in a 3-0 (25-22, 28-26, 25-13) victory.

HOW IT HAPPENED

· The Cardinal (6-2) commanded a six-point lead early in the first set, but the Gaels (4-6) scored four straight points coming out of a timeout and would stay close the rest of the way before Stanford edged out a 25-22 victory.

· Saint Mary's looked poised to win set two and even the match but couldn't finish off the set.
