·10 min read

Feb. 27—The University of Wyoming volleyball team fell in straight sets to Border War rival Colorado State Friday night in Laramie, losing 30-28, 25-20 and 25-12.

Wyoming scored the first five points of the first set and six-of-seven to open the match. CSU eventually came back to make it 10-9. From that point in the set, Wyoming strung the lead back out to a 16-12 advantage, forcing a Rams timeout. UW ran its lead up to as many as five points multiple times after the timeout.
