Colorado Kicks Off Spring Season Saturday

BOULDER – Colorado women's volleyball team kicks off the 2022 spring season this Saturday with its first of five scrimmages against Air Force at 11:30 a.m. in Boulder.
 
The Buffaloes will compete four times this spring, Saturday against Air Force, at Northern Colorado Apr. 2 at 11 a.m., at Colorado State Apr. 9 for a double-header against Denver at 12:30 then against the Rams at 2 p.m., then finish things up at home against Wyoming Apr. 16 at 1 p.m.
 
Colorado is coming off a 15-14 season that included a school-record nine-straight wins to start the season. The Buffs finished the conference season 10th in the Pac-12 with a 6-14 record.
 
Most of the team returns from next season, including Brynna DeLuzio and Meegan Hart who announced their return using their COVID year last week. Colorado also welcomed signee Rian Finley who joined the Buffs at the beginning of the spring semester. The setter from Nevada gives CU a pair of setters heading into the spring with Taylor Simpson set to take the reins from departing senior Jenna Ewert.
 
The Buffs have been practicing hard since returning to campus in January. Two Buffaloes, Alexia Kuehl and Emma Torstenson took that practice to the next level as they participate in the USAVB National Team Open last weekend at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.
 
All of the scrimmages in Boulder are free to the public to attend. Doors will open and warmups will start an hour before the scrimmage begins.
