K-State Volleyball heads to Colorado for Big 12 Conference

The K-State volleyball team (7-11, 1-7 Big 12 Conference) is on the road tonight to take on conference foe Colorado (6-12, 1-8 Big 12 Conference).

The Wildcats were swept 0-3 against Kansas on Saturday, but look to continue their current four-game winning streak against the Buffaloes.

"I think tomorrow's match against Colorado will be a way better match to watch and to hear about [than our last match]," said junior outside hitter Vanessa Murray on Tuesday.

Colorado owns the all time series between the two teams, with a 23-20 record, but K-State has won 10 of the last 14 meetings. Both teams find themselves looking for just their second conference win after winning for the first time last week.

Under first-year coach Liz Kritza, the Buffaloes are led on offense by sophomore outside hitter Becah Fogle, who is averaging 3.24 kills per set. Redshirt sophomore outside hitter Rosie Steinhaus will also contribute with her 2.66 kills per set.

On defense, they are led by Fogle and freshman outside hitter Kerra Schroeder with 2.22 and 2.14 digs per set, respectively.

K-State will counter on the offensive end with junior outside hitter JuliAnne Chisholm who has a team high 206 kills. Redshirt freshman outside hitter Kathleen Ludwig is second on the team with 179 kills for a 2.56 kill per set average.

Senior middle blocker Kelsey Chipman, averaging 1.10 block per set, will lead the Wildcat defense. Junior libero Lauren Mathewson leads the team with 4.15 digs per set and will help set the tone on defense.

First serve is set for 8 pm, at the Coors Events Center.
