UCCS won the first set 23-25 and Westmisnter bounced back to win the second set 25-23. UCCS caught on fire during the third set to win the final two sets 25-19 and 25-13. The second set is the first time the Griffins have won a set at UCCS.
On Saturday, the Griffins played the MSU Denver Roadrunner and lost in 3 straight sets 25-12, 25-11 and 25-21. According to Head Coach
