BOULDER – The Colorado Women’s Volleyball team (12-9, 4-6) will once again be in the CU Events Center this weekend, as they take on USC (13-7, 7-3) and UCLA (11-9, 3-7). The Buffs will play the Trojans Friday night at 7 p.m. MT and the Bruins on Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. MT.
The Buffs just closed out their best weekend of the season, taking down Arizona and No. 17 Arizona State at home via a sweep in both matches. It is the first time all season that CU has taken down a ranked team.
Lexi Hadrych once again had a stellar weekend, posting 34 kills on 61 total attempts (.443%). She tacked on 10 digs in the match against Arizona State, giving her the lone double-double for the Buffs’ on the weekend.
After two important conference wins at home over the Arizona schools, Colorado is now seventh in the Pac-12 and tied with Utah and Washington with four conference wins a piece.
CU traveled to Los Angeles just a little under a month ago and dropped both of their matches against USC and UCLA and will look to get back at both of them this weekend at home. Friday’s game against USC will also feature the Buffs’ final Happy Hour of the season and the team will have “volleyball bingo” throughout the game. On Sunday, fans are encouraged to wear a costume for the squad’s “Spooky Sunday” match.
