Washington cuts down No. 2 Stanford in thrilling volleyball match

In what is annually the most anticipated home volleyball match of the regular season, Washington made it another night to remember by snapping a 16-game Stanford winning streak and defeating its longtime nemesis, the second-ranked Cardinal, 3-1 Wednesday night at Alaska Airlines Arena.

The matchup of two perennial Pac-12 volleyball powers — Stanford and UW have finished either first or second in the conference the past four seasons — was a showcase of grit and athleticism as the Huskies successfully toppled one of the nation’s tallest lineups, with two Cardinal starters at 6 feet 6 and another at 6-8.
