In their first of two meetings at the CU Events Center this weekend, the Washington Huskies outlasted the University of Colorado Buffaloes, the University of Colorado women’s volleyball team, in five sets. Despite a strong showing from senior outside hitter Leah Clayton that included 29 kills, the most since Taylor Simpson in 2014, the Buffaloes dropped to 4-3 while the Huskies improved to 7-2.
Dating back to last season, the Buffaloes have now lost three in a row to Washington. The Buffaloes will no doubt be anticipating their rematch with the Huskies on Sunday and will need to win to avoid another conference sweep.
