The Buffaloes, winners of four straight, improve to 6-2 overall while
CU's Allie Griffin led all players with 17 kills while recording nine digs and six blocks. The junior right side hitter was one of four Buffs to hit .300 or better in the match.
“This was huge for us to come out and play steady,”
Bossow led CU's blocking parade. The sophomore from Vail, Colo., had a career-high 11 block assists making her the first Buff to register double digits in blocks since Meghan Barkman had 10 against Kansas late in the 2001 season. Bossow also registered seven kills and hit above .400 for the third straight match.
Junior outside hitter Maragda Santillana scored a double-double for the Buffs with 14 kills and team-high 10 digs. Santillana, who also had six blocks, was one of six CU players with six or more digs. Sophomore Amber Nu'u came off the bench to log eight digs while twin sister Ashley and libero Kelly Masumiya each had six.
“This was a great win but it is early in the season,” CU head coach Pi'i Aiu said. “We don't want to base too much on this win. It gives us confidence, but all the games we have played this season have given us confidence.”
