Colorado State University Volleyball played great this weekend (well, sort of a weekend), in getting 3-0 sweeps of both New Mexico and TCU at Moby Arena in Fort Collins. The Rams beat the Lobos Thursday night in what Coach Hilbert called "the most complete match of the season." Redshirt Freshman Megan Plourde particularly shone, with 10 kills and a massive .786 hitting percentage.
The Rams then put away the Horned Frogs Saturday afternoon, with Plourde again playing well. The whole team is coming together well, and playing at a high level. The chemistry among these mostly-young players has been a pleasant surprise this fall. I like CSU's chances of winning the Mountain West Conference and returning to the NCAA Tournament. They should get a chance to work some bench players into the mix this week, when the Rams host Northern Colorado on Wednesday (a good, but lesser team), and then travel to Wyoming on Friday (an okay team that seems down this season). Go Rams!
