CCU Volleyball traveled a short distance to Metro State University of Denver on Wednesday night and came up short making their record 8-9 in conference. Metro took the win in three sets with scores of 25-15, 25-21, and 25-19.
Â
It was a quick three sets, but the Cougars didn't hold anything back making some amazing plays throughout the match. The first set was a struggle to get anything going for CCU, but a spark ignited in the second set and the Lady Cougars were finally making plays happen. Despite Colo. Christian's efforts, MSU had some incredible defense on the night out-digging Christian 49-38, and the Cougs could not pass a ball consistently point after point which made it hard to run an efficient offense. The third set was close up until ten points, where the Roadrunners ran with it.
