FORT COLLINS, Colo. — The 15th-ranked Colorado State Rams volleyball team is back home after a three-match road trip, and the squad is preparing for a pair of matches this Sunday and Monday, including an exhibition meeting with Shanghai Eastbest & Langsheng on Monday at 7 p.m.
Tickets are still available for the match against Shanghai, which projects to be a very high-level match. Fans can call 1-800-491-RAMS or visit www.csurams.com/tickets to purchase their seats.
"They're going to be very, very good," Hilbert said of the visitors from Shanghai. "It will be a very good and entertaining match. In 2011, we played a team from China called Tianjin, and this team will probably be better than them. We expect this will be a fun match to play and really entertaining for everybody."
Shanghai won five consecutive Chinese Volleyball League titles between 1996-2001, and then won the 2014 Chinese women’s volleyball championship and was the National Volleyball League runner-up in 2014-15.. The team is led by head coach Zhang Limin.
Shanghai is also playing at Wyoming on Sunday night in Laramie, Wyo.
