Stanford Cruises Past Nevada

RENO, Nev.-- Senior outside hitter Kristin Folkl posted game-highs with nine kills and seven digs as the Stanford women's volleyball team cruised to a three-game sweep of Nevada. Game scores were 15-2, 15-3 and 15-1.

The host Wolfpack proved no match for a Cardinal club coming off a loss to Penn State, a match that cost Stanford its number one ranking. Stanford hit an incredible .452 over the three games, while Nevada struggled to a -1.65 hitting percentage. In addition to Folkl, Paula McNamee and Kerri Walsh enjoyed solid matches for Stanford, notching seven and six kills respectively.

Stanford improves to 2-1 on the season, while Nevada falls to 0-4. The Cardinal returns to action on Tuesday night at Sacramento State.
