Spikers Move Up To 19th In Latest AVCA Poll
October 03, 2016 | Volleyball
BOULDER — After recording a 1-1 split last weekend against a pair of ranked Pac-12 opponents, the Colorado volleyball team moved up one position to 19th in the latest AVCA Division I Coaches Poll.
The Buffs recorded 416 points this week to move up from 20th to 19th overall. They dropped a 1-3 decision last Friday night to then-No. 23 Southern California, but rebounded well on Sunday, defeating then-No. 12 UCLA (3-1).
Colorado is one of seven Pac-12 teams ranked in this week's poll. Stanford owns the best ranking at seventh and is followed by Washington (eight), Washington State (10), UCLA (18), Colorado (19), Oregon (20) and USC (22). Utah dropped out of the poll but is the top team receiving votes.
The first NCAA Women's Volleyball RPI rankings were also released on Monday, with CU coming in at 34th. RPI is one of the tools the NCAA Women's Volleyball Tournament Committee uses to select the tournament field of 64 teams at the end of the regular season. The Buffs are one of nine Pac-12 teams with RPI's above 40.
CU is 10-4 overall this season and owns a 2-2 record in Pac-12 play. The Buffs hit the road this weekend for the first time in three weeks to face No. 9 Stanford and California.
