Colorado State volleyball picked first in Mountain West preseason poll | Colorado Sunshine

Where the good news shines

The Colorado State volleyball was tabbed the favorite by fellow Mountain West coaches in the conference's preseason poll on Wednesday.

After finishing second in both the regular season and tournament standings last season in the Mountain West, the Rams are looking forward to returning a group of six upperclassmen.

The Rams finished first overall with 98 points in the voting and eight first place votes. Last season's regular season champion Utah State finished second in the poll with 84 points and two first place votes while tournament champion Fresno State finished fourth with 71 points.

Two Rams were also named to the Pre-Season All-Mountain West team with Malaya Jones and Emery Herman both set to lead the Colorado State offense this season.
