The Lady Buffs moved up to No. 3 in the latest American Volleyball Coaches Association Poll, released today.
WT (5-0) beat then-No. 19 Nova Southeastern and then-No. 5 Grand Valley State last week in their BritKare Lady Buff Classic en route to a perfect opening weekend.
Grand Valley State is now at No. 6, while Nova Southeastern moved up to No. 16.
The Lady Buffs face two more ranked teams this weekend in the Colorado Premier Tournament in Denver - No. 19 Lewis University and No. 12 Central Missouri. If WT can get past those two, it has a chance to face the No. 1 team, Concordia-St. Paul, in the championship match.

Grand Valley State has a grand time
Following Saturday's game at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium between the top-ranked Grand Valley State Lakers and the preseason No. 11 West Texas A&M Buffs, GVS head coach Chuck Martin said his team was expecting the worst as far as the surroundings.
"To be honest, I heard some negatives about how they acted, but from the time we got to Texas to the time we left, we couldn't have been treated better," Martin said. "I heard some horror stories from people, you know, be careful when you go down there. This was a great experience, though. Obviously, the win makes it more enjoyable, but it was a great experience."
During their stay, the Lakers visited the Big Texan Steak Ranch and watched a customer attempt to down the famous 72-oz. steak in an hour.
WT head coach Don Carthel said Monday that the GVS contingent remarked that WT and Buffs fans were "awesome."
