RENO, Nev. — Short matches have been hard to come by lately.
Locked in a battle for the Mountain West crown, Colorado State has had to grit out victories in its past three games, each going the distance with a full five sets.
Five setters are draining both mentally and physically, and the Rams will need all the strength they can muster with a pivotal match against contending Boise State on Wednesday, meaning Saturday's matchup at red-hot Nevada wasn't to be overlooked.
CSU was poised and consistent Saturday, powering the Rams to a nice change of pace and a sweep of the Wolfpack (25-11, 25-21, 25-18), who had entered the day winners of four straight, including a win over third-place Wyoming in their last time out.
