Despite 20 kills and 13 kills from Claire Hoffman, the No. 17 Washington volleyball team lost to the No. 9 Stanford Cardinal on the road Friday night.
Washington won the first set 26-24 before losing the rest: 25-17, 25-20, 25-21.
Kendall Kipp had 19 kills as the Cardinal (7-4, 2-1 Pac-12) hit .338.
Emoni Bush added 12 kills and Marin Grote had 11 for the Huskies (10-3, 2-1), who hit .235. The Huskies lost outside hitter Madi Endsley to injury during the first set.
Stanford had 14 blocks to just three for the Huskies, all in the first set.
“Adversity finds every team at some point in the season, and it found us in that first set,” UW coach Keegan Cook said. “It put us in some situations where we had to make some adjustments and ask some questions. I certainly respect our effort and ability to compete, but not enough performance from the service line or defensively.”
