No. 7 Stanford volleyball sweeps No. 14 ASU

No. 7 Stanford volleyball avenged a loss to No. 14 Arizona State on Wednesday night, winning 3-0 at Maples Pavilion.

ASU beat Stanford 3-1 in Tempe on Oct. 2 before losing hitting leader Macey Gardner to a season-ending knee injury and Kizzy Ricedorff to a neurological issue that put her in the hospital and now Mayo Clinic.

In the rematch, the Cardinal scored the final seven points of the first set, held off the Sun Devils in the second and cruised in the third to win 25-17, 25-23, 25-9. ASU rallied from 20-14 down in the second set and held off three set points before freshman Hayley Hodson's kill gave Stanford a 2-0 lead.

BreElle Bailey had 12 kills and Whitney Follette 11 for ASU, now 17-5, 6-5 Pac-12. Hodson led Stanford (14-5, 8-3) with 14 kills on .345 hitting and Brittany Howard added 10 kills. The Cardinal led .324 to .138 in hitting, 11-4 in blocks and 6-0 in aces.

ASU is now 2-5 without Gardner and/or Ricedorff and still has never swept a season series from Stanford. The Sun Devils are California (8-13 2-8) at 7 p.m. Thursday.
