Stat Joust
It’s Thursday morning, and we’re more than a bit late with this, but here’s our Stat Joust, with three tables comparing the statistical leaders for Penn State and Stanford in Attack, Serving, and Blocking/Points. Below those three tables we have the complete statistics for both Penn State and Stanford. All statistics are as of 12-17-14.
What jumps out:
Belaboring the Obvious Department: Inky Ajanaku is a very, very good player
Penn State has better Team Attack % (.348 vs. .316 for Stanford) and better Opponent Attack % (.144 vs. .178 for Stanford), but given the overall strength of the Pac-12, Stanford played a tougher schedule.
Penn State is a tougher serving team (statistically, much of the differential is due to Micha Hancock’s other-worldly statistics), but — somewhat surprisingly to us — there is also a big differential in how often each team gets aced (0.47 per set by Penn State’s opponents vs. 0.86 by Stanford’s opponents). Again, this could be due to the strength of Stanford’s opponents — or not.
Penn State holds a razor-thin margin in team blocking stats (2.67 blocks/set compared to 2.65 blocks/set for Stanford).
Attack Leaders: Penn State - Stanford
Serving Leaders: Penn State - Stanford
Blocking/Points Leaders: Penn State - Stanford
Penn State Stats: 12-17-14
Overall record: 34-3 Conf: 18-2 Home: 18-1 Away: 10-2 Neutral: 6-0
