What You Need to Know

The Rams are coming off a 1-1 weekend as they start to get back on track in conference play after dropping three straight matches earlier this month. Colorado State fell to New Mexico in three on Thursday before beating Air Force 3-1 on Saturday.
Colorado State fans helped celebrate both senior Jacqi Van Liefde and head coach Tom Hilbert last Saturday as the Rams' matchup with Air Force served as both of their final regular season home game in Moby Arena. While Van Liefde will play and Hilbert will coach in Moby Arena again as the Rams host the Mountain West Tournament next week, over 2,800 Ram fans came out last Saturday to show their love and support for the lone senior and the 26-year head coach.
The Rams currently sit tied for third in the Mountain West standings with Utah State. While they have officially clinched a spot in the tournament, who they will play in the opening round is still up in the air and dependent on how the remaining games across the tournament fall this week.
