Week in Review
 
Women's volleyball played RMAC opponent UCCS on Thursday at the Gallogly Events Center in Colorado Springs.  The first two sets were very competitive.  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 Al Givens, "We did not come out very well in the first two sets.  We were really flat and Metro was on fire."
 
Freshman Audrey Green led the attack in both matches with 30 kills and 14 digs between the two matches.  Taylor Gustafson had seventy assists while Amber Lamborn had 13 kills  and libero Hannah Stearman had 20 digs.
 
Scouting
 
South Dakota Mines (2-17, 0-9 RMAC) are yet to win a conference match and have only won five sets this season.  The Griffins will look to build their confidence and get back to winning ways on Thursday.
 
Black Hills State (7-11, 4-5 RMAC) were winless in five games but broke that streak last week beating South Dakota Mines 3-0 in their only match on the week. 
 
Looking Ahead
 
Next week the women's volleyball will play three games on the road.  On Tuesday, October 17, the Griffins play at CSU – Pueblo followed by a game at Adams State on Thursday and Saturday will be the final match at Fort Lewis.  Both games will be availble to watch through the RMAC Network.
