Wildcats rally, Buffs fall to No. 20 Arizona in five sets

The University of Colorado women’s volleyball team celebrated Senior Day in Boulder on Sunday, and a considerably large crowd came out to show their support for seniors Alexa Smith, Naghede Abu and Gabby Carta-Samuels despite the snow storm.

The Buffaloes took on the University of Arizona, currently ranked No. 20. The Buffs looked for a big redemption win after losing their first matchup to Arizona, 3-0. Colorado took the court looking to solidify their position as the Pac-12 Tournament nears.

The energy in the building was ecstatic — whether it was the big crowd or something head coach Jesse Mahoney said before the game — as the Buffaloes started focused and hungry for points.
