Volleyball drops first set of the young season

The Lady Buffs lost the third set of their match with Western New Mexico on Saturday, 22-25.

WT got way down early, falling into a 1-11 hole. Coach Jason Skoch had the court nearly full of underclassmen (Fr. starting libero Lauren Beville doesn't count) during that WNM run. The Lady Buffs made a good run at it, but even the starters were making some mistakes when they could have come back to close out their fourth sweep of the season.

"I tried giving (the underclassmen) an opportunity, and they didn't take advantage of it," Skoch said. "We have to get them in there. They earned it, they've been working hard in practice. It's good for them to see in a game situation that they still have stuff to grow on."
