Stanford sophomore setter Jenna Gray recorded two of her five kills on the match's final two points to help the second-ranked Stanford women's volleyball team survive a marathon Pac-12 Conference match against visiting Washington, 25-16, 18-25, 21-25, 25-20, 15-10, Thursday night.

The Huskies took a 4-3 lead in the deciding set before kills from Merete Lutz, Kathryn Plummer and Tami Alade put Stanford (16-2, 9-0) ahead to stay.

Washington pulled within 11-10 before the Cardinal won out. Freshman Sidney Wilson served the final three points and freshman Kate Formico had an assist on one of Gray's kills.

Washington led, 8-7, midway through the fourth set when Plummer sparked a five-point Cardinal rally with three kills during the stretch. Meghan McClure recorded an ace and a double block from Gray and Audriana Fitzmorris took care of the other two points.

Stanford went up, 18-10, and basically traded points with the Huskies the rest of the way to force the fifth set.
