Colorado State improves its winning streak to four matches
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The Colorado State volleyball team improved its winning streak to four-straight victories, after cruising past New Mexico on Thursday night in The Pit. The Rams took the first two sets handedly, 25-9 and 25-15, as they were nearly perfect on the attack, recording a combined four attack errors. CSU earned the sweep, third of the season taking the final frame, 29-27.
Â
Both teams traded points to start the match, but Colorado State made a 3-0 run to lead 6-3 and never trailed again as it hit .357 for the set with 12 kills and two hitting errors.
Â
The Rams kept its momentum into the second frame, leading the entire set and hitting a match-high .444 with 14 kills and two errors.
Â
New Mexico took an early lead using two runs early, one of which was eight-straight errors by Colorado State to put the Rams behind 11-3. CSU chipped away at the deficient through the set, and made a 4-0 run late to tie the game at 23-23. The Lobos had set point at 24-23, but the Rams responded two back-to-back points to have match point. Colorado State went on to make match point four times before securing the sweep.
Â
Colorado State will finish the 2021 spring schedule on Saturday at San Diego State with the first serve at 2 p.m., MT on the Mountain West Network.
