A weekend of women's sports at Maples

Are you having a severe attack of basketball deprivation?

While you're waiting for the Cardinal to return from finals break, come to Maples this weekend to watch the NCAA Volleyball Regional.

The Stanford women advanced to the regional by defeating St. Marys in a 5-game match in the second round last weekend: 21-25, 25-21, 25-22, 24-26, 15-13. It doesn't get much more exciting than that.

Stanford is seeded #4. They will play Michigan (#10) on Friday at 7:00. If they win that match, they will play Illinois (#5) or Hawaii (#12) on Saturday at 8:30. If they win that match, they will advance to the Final Four for the fourth year in a row.

Come cheer them on!

Come back to Maples on Sunday at 1:00 (actually to the Arrillaga Family Center) for the Stanford Women's Basketball auction before the game against DePaul at 2:00. And remember that the game after that (against Duke) is just two days later – on Tuesday at 7:00.
