FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Despite a perfect 3-0 weekend and a Hilton Classic title, the CSU volleyball team remained No. 17 in the CSTV/AVCA Coaches Poll which was released Monday.

The Rams topped Arkansas in the tournament opener on Friday night as they posted a 3-0 sweep of the Lady Razorbacks at Moby Arena. CSU then followed that up with a pair of wins on Saturday as it swept Denver University in the afternoon and then beat Eastern Washington 3-2 in a thrilling final match.

This week’s schedule features a trip to Corvallis, Ore., for the Asics Classic, hosted by Oregon State University. The Rams will meet Pepperdine (currently receiving votes in the CSTV/AVCA Coaches Poll) on Friday night, go up against host Oregon State on Saturday and then wrap up the tournament with a meeting against Pacific on Sunday afternoon.
