Colorado is currently on a three-game losing skid, dropping both matches against USC and UCLA this past weekend.
Maya Tabron led the Buffs in kills over the weekend with 17, Lexi Hadrych finished shortly behind with 16 and still holds the lead for the season with 169. Skyy Howard joined the two in the century mark for the season, and has 101 kills headed into this weekend.
OPPONENT OVERVIEW
Oregon
The Ducks are ranked No. 5 in the country with a 13-2 record. They just snapped an 8-game winning streak after losing at home to Washington State in four sets this past Sunday. It was their first conference loss so far and are now 3-1. Their top wins so far include San Diego, Ohio State, and Pittsburgh who are all ranked inside the top 25.
CU will look to take down Oregon for the first time since the 2019 season, when they won at home in three sets. The Buffs are 7-19 all-time against the Ducks and have won four of those matches inside the CU Events Center.
Oregon State
The Beavers hold a 5-9 record on the campaign but have yet to record a conference win. They’ve lost seven in a row and last won in the beginning of September against UC Riverside.
Colorado has had much better luck against their other Oregon rival, with a 16-6 overall record in the series against OSU. The two teams split the series last year with each team recording a win at home. The Buffs have an exceptional 11-1 record at home against Oregon State, and will look to continue that dominance on Sunday.
