STANFORD, Calif. – It wasn’t the best offensive outing for the fifth-ranked Stanford men’s volleyball team, but the Cardinal defense held No. 15 Cal Baptist in check in a 25-16, 25-20, 25-19 sweep, Friday, in Maples Pavilion.
The win over the Lancers (11-14, 4-14 MPSF) momentarily puts Stanford (17-3, 15-3 MPSF) back in sole possession of first place in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation.
As a team, Stanford hit a season-low .179, but held Cal Baptist to an opponent low for the season at .052. The Cardinal posted 13.5 team blocks, tying for the third most in a match this season, and collected 37 digs. Sophomore libero Evan Enriques and senior setter James Shaw recorded 10 digs apiece to pace the team.
Senior Madison Hayden led the squad with eight kills on .333 hitting to go with seven digs, three blocks and tied his career-high with five aces. Shaw turned in his team-best third double-double of the year with 20 assists to go with his 10 digs. He also went 5-0-5 (1.000) offensively and posted four blocks and an ace.
Conrad Kaminski, Gabriel Vega and Clay Jones all tallied three kills for the Cardinal, while Kevin Rakestraw and Alex Stephanus added two each. Kaminski also registered a match-high seven blocks, while Rakestraw had four.
Cal Baptist was led by senior Rocky DeLyon’s 10 kills and four digs, while Luis Palos and Enrique de Diego Garcia each had six kills. Freshman libero Emmett Enriques, the younger brother of Stanford libero Evan Enriques, recorded a match-high 15 digs.
Stanford remains on The Farm next week, playing host to No. 11 CSUN on Wednesday, March 30. First serve is slated for 7 p.m. on the Pac-12 Network.
