Winning is nothing new for the Colorado State volleyball team. And you can chalk that up as the understatement of the year.
The No. 13 Rams clinched their seventh consecutive Mountain West title this season and will make their 21st straight appearance in the NCAA tournament when they take on Loyola Marymount in first round play Thursday. Over the 21-year stretch, CSU has advanced past the first round 14 times and has made six appearances in the Sweet 16.
This winning tradition continued this season as CSU boasts a 26-3 record and finished the season on a 20-game winning streak, including an unblemished conference record, making it the first MW team to run the tables in conference play since the 2003 CSU team.
