The Colorado State volleyball team, in a vote by the Mountain West Conference head coaches and selected media, has been chosen to finish third in the Mountain West, the league announced today.
BYU and Utah each received 116 points and six first-place votes, while the Rams were right behind them with 101 points and the final two first-place nods. UNLV was picked to finish fifth, while San Diego State and Wyoming tied for six with 59 points each. New Mexico, TCU and Air Force rounded out the voting, respectively.
