STANFORD, Calif. – The Stanford men’s volleyball regular season is coming to a close as the Cardinal hosts UC Santa Barbara on Saturday, April 18 at 5:30 p.m. It marks the final home match for the five Stanford seniors, who will be recognized with a Senior Night ceremony following the match.
GoStanford.com will highlight each senior this week leading up to the match on Saturday. Our next senior is middle blocker Spencer Haly.
A Newport Beach, California native, Haly will earn his degree this June in management science and engineering. He has been a mainstay in the Cardinal lineup for the past three seasons, starting 57 of the 67 matches he has appeared in. His .414 career hitting percentage ranks third in program history in the rally-scoring era (2001-present). Haly is also an MPSF All-Academic Team selection.
