It's potentially the biggest regular season weekend opportunity in MANY years this week for the volleyball team (Unofficially #26 in the country), as a win in both matches could*** put the Buffs in line to host the 1st 2 NCAA tournament rounds in Boulder. (***See next post for more info.)
Also, with Friday being Senior Night, hope some folks can make it out to the Keg!
