BOULDER – The Colorado Women’s Volleyball team (2-1) is scheduled to play another three matches this weekend, one coming on the road while the other two will be played in the CU events center. They will host the annual Colorado Classic, welcoming three other teams to the tournament.
Colorado dropped their first match of the year this past Friday against UNLV but bounced back by sweeping the next two matches over Campbell and North Texas, enough to win the annual Buffs Invitational.
