BOULDER – The Colorado Women’s Volleyball team (5-1) will hit the road for just the second time this season, traveling to Kansas for the Wichita Invitational.
CU is coming off back-to-back tournament wins at home, and have won five straight matches via sweeps since dropping their season-opener to UNLV. The last time Colorado has swept five matches in a row, was 30 years ago during the 1993 campaign.
The Buffs will play on Friday at 2:00 p.m. MT against Kansas, followed up with another match Saturday evening at 6:00 p.m. MT against the tournament host, Wichita State.
OPPONENT OVERVIEW
KANSAS
KU is currently 3-1 on the season, with wins over Omaha, Pepperdine, and Marquette while dropping their only match to Purdue this last weekend. They will square off against Wichita St. Thursday night before their match against the Buffs.
Colorado is 35-15 all-time against the Jayhawks, but dropped their last matchup all the way back in the 2010 season. The Buffs once had a 26-game win streak against KU from the 1987-1999 season, and will look to recapture that success once again this upcoming weekend.
WICHITA STATE
The Shockers are 3-2 through five contests this season, and have proved victorious over Houston Christian, Illinois and Illinois State. They fell short in matches against Notre Dame and Texas Tech during the Under Armour Challenge.
There is just one matchup all-time between Wichita State and Colorado, dating back to 1986 when the Shockers swept the Buffs in three sets.
