LEXINGTON, Ky. – The undefeated Colorado State volleyball team remained at No. 10 in this week’s AVCA Division I Coaches Top 25 Poll, released Monday. CSU earned a road win at Wyoming and a home victory against Nevada on the week to improve to 23-0, 14-0 MW.
The Rams were passed by then-No. 11 Nebraska, but jumped ahead of then-No. 9 Minnesota. The Huskers and Gophers swapped positions after Nebraska beat Minnesota on Sunday in Minneapolis.
All-time, CSU has been ranked more frequently than all but 14 teams in NCAA history, and has earned a spot in the top 10 a total of 61 times – including three consecutive weeks – a figure that ranks 19th among all programs. The Rams are 422-125 as a ranked team, including 117-23 while in the top 10. For a complete list of each top-10 ranking, click here.
At 23-0, CSU is off to its best-ever start, and its 23 consecutive victories tie a program record (also 2003). On Saturday, the Rams earned Head Coach Tom Hilbert career victory No. 600, becoming the 10th coach in NCAA Division I women’s volleyball history with 600 wins and a .770 winning percentage.
