Rams prevail over Buffs in inaugural Golden Spike Trophy match

The No. 19 ranked University of Colorado women’s volleyball team hosted Colorado State Friday night, at the CU Events Center. Colorado State defeated the Buffs 3-2 in five sets.

In Fort Collins on Thursday, mistakes plagued the Buffs who had traveled to Fort Collins and lost to the Rams in three sets. It was Colorado’s first loss of the season. The Buffs hoped to rebound against the Rams at home, especially since Friday night’s game in Boulder inaugurated the Golden Spike Trophy, a match between two of the top teams in the state.

“I think we just came together as a team and recognized that how we played last night wasn’t anywhere near our potential,” said senior libero Rachel Whipple.
