The Colorado State volleyball team this year has done a really good job at proving volleyball really is a great sport. They ended their regular season on a high, winning five straight matches. Their overall record was fantastic as well, 15-6.
It was announced Sunday that they would be competing in Hawaii at the NCAA tournament. The first round will put them up against Oregon. This will most likely be a good match since both are great teams. This announcement should be the sugar on top for the volleyball team.
They will be competing Thursday, and if they win, they will be back again in Hawaii to compete the following week. According to Colorado State's Media Relations department, the last time Oregon and CSU faced against one another was in 1984. Hawaii's arena is also known for it's tough playing area, but I think CSU can overcome it.
One disappointing thing though is that their are still people out there that do not support CSU's volleyball team. I went to the majority of the home matches this season, and there was just not the right amount of people there; including students.
Let's hope after the NCAA tournament, CSU will come together and start supporting volleyball again.
I personally have only been to one volleyball game my whole college career. I always knew they were better than average, but apparently they are really good. Wish I would have gone to more!
ReplyDeleteI love volleyball! We really do have a great volleyball team here at CSU. I think it's awesome they were able to get to travel all the way to Hawaii. Hopefully the jet lag doesn't hut them. Do you know if any of the games are televised?
