FORT COLLINS, Colo.--Riding a six-match win streak, including two sweeps this past week, the CSU Rams volleyball team moved up one spot in this week's AVCA Coach's Top 25 Poll, to No. 24.
After appearing in the poll for nearly two years straight, the Rams fell out for two weeks earlier this month, before regaining their positioning last week with 86 points and a No. 25 ranking. CSU earned 133 points in this week's poll, released Monday, moving ahead of No. 25 Oklahoma, a 2011 CSU opponent. For the entire poll, visit here.
CSU hasn't lost a set in six straight matches dating back to Oct. 8, its longest set win streak since also winning 18 consecutive sets in 2003.
The Rams close out their home slate against Wyoming in the Border War, Friday at 7 p.m. MT. A win over the Cowgirls earns CSU at least a share of the Mountain West regular-season title. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to honor departing senior Katelyn Steffan in her final match at Moby Arena.
All youth (12 & under) get in free. Tickets can be purchased online, over the phone at 1-800/491-RAMS, or at any King Soopers location.
