Colorado State offense dominates Wolf Pack
RENO, Nev. – The Colorado State volleyball team moved to 6-4 in the Mountain West after sweeping the Nevada Wolf Pack on the road Saturday afternoon, 3-0.
Â
Colorado State had one of its best offensive games of the season Saturday afternoon in Reno as the Rams hit at a .474 team efficiency with each individual Ram that recorded a kill hitting above at least .260. The Rams took down the Wolf Pack by set scores of 25-17, 25-7 and 25-14.
Â
All 14 Rams who traveled Saturday saw the court in Reno with redshirt-junior Malaya Jones leading the way for Colorado State on offense with 11 kills in 16 attempts for a .667 hitting efficiency. Jones also added eight digs, two service aces and two block assists.
Â
Middle blocker Naeemah Weathers, who currently ranks second in the conference in individual hitting percentage, hit at a perfect rate against Nevada, recording five kills on five attempts.
Â
Fifth-year senior Annie Sullivan and senior Kennedy Stanford each added nine kills to Colorado State's offensive production while middle blocker Karina Leber added eight.
Â
Senior setter Emery Herman dished out 35 assists to eight different Rams at a .594 assist percentage Saturday afternoon acting as the main distributor for the Rams' offense.
Â
In the first set, the Rams took an early 5-0 lead thanks to a strong service run by defensive specialist Anna Porter to start the match. Colorado State didn't surrender the lead through the entire first set as the Rams completed set one on a 7-2 run to take a one set advantage. Defensive specialist Ruby Kayser recorded two of her four service aces in the first set alone.
Â
The second set was pure dominance from Colorado State, claiming a 2-0 lead with a second score of 25-7. The longest consecutive streak in the second frame was a 12-0 service run by Herman that kept Nevada out of system allowing Colorado State to capitalize on Wolf Pack errors. Herman added two service aces of her own within the 12-point run.
Â
While the Colorado State offense was dominant all afternoon, the Rams' defense held Nevada to a team hitting percentage of .106 on the day with six total blocks and 32 total team digs.
Â
The offense continued to roll in set three with Colorado State hitting at a .778 efficiency with 15 kills and four team service aces to claim a 25-14 third set and match win.
Â
Colorado State remains in the No. 4 spot in the conference heading into a three-game home stand as the Rams will host Utah State Thursday night, Boise State Saturday afternoon and Wyoming on Halloween night.
