LEXINGTON, Ky. – The Colorado State volleyball team returns to the AVCA Coaches' Poll at No. 25 this week following a perfect 4-0 week, including winning the Home2Suites Invite at Florida State. The Rams picked up a come-from-behind win against TCU and an upset against then-No. 15 Florida State with a 3-0 sweep. The win against the Seminoles was the first for CSU against a Top-25 opponent since 2014 and the first sweep against a ranked team since 2012.
This is the first time this season that Colorado State has been ranked in the AVCA poll. The Rams were last ranked in the first week of the 2016 poll, which was the 47th straight week dating back to the 2013 season. This is the 269th week that Colorado State has been ranked.
One of Colorado State's opponents for the upcoming weekend – Michigan – moved up three spots to No. 16 and matches the Rams record at 5-1. Florida State dropped five spots to No. 20 after getting swept by CSU.
