The Colorado State volleyball team, ranked No. 15, showed its muscle by sweeping No. 24 BYU 3-0 (25-18, 25-20, 25-19) before 3,667 fans at Moby Arena on Saturday night.
It was the 21st straight win for CSU (10-1, 2-0 Mountain West) at Moby, matching a streak from 2001. The Rams’ defense was the key, holding the Cougars to a .077 hitting average, well below their .243 season average coming in. Tessa Nelson and Jacque Davisson each tallied five blocks.
• Senior Jacqueline Paul led the University of Denver with 11 kills on 18 chances and had four blocks as DU beat Georgia State 3-0 (25-10, 25-19, 25-21) in the DU Invitational at Hamilton Gymnasium. In the nightcap, DU beat Southern Methodist 3-1 to win the tournament.
Senior Kerry Porter added 10 kills for the Pioneers (9-2), while Alexis Ninos had nine kills and 12 digs.
• No. 18 Kansas State (11-2, 1-1 Big 12) was too much for Colorado (7-4, 1-1), sweeping the Buffs 3-0 (25-15, 25-16, 25-19) in Manhattan, Kan.
Amber Sutherland led CU with 10 kills and eight digs.
