FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Colorado State got its revenge on the Lobos, who handed them a four-game loss early in the season, shutting out the Lobos, 3-0 tonight. Junior Kelly Therkelsen led the Lobos with six kills, hitting a team-best .353 (6K-0E-17TA) with four blocks and an ace.
The Lobos hung with the Rams in the first game, falling 30-26 but the loss of freshman setter Sarah Kwasigroch to mono took its toll on the team in games two and three as they fell 30-10 and 30-16, respectively.
Seniors Chelsea Sondrup and Nicole Ryan and sophomore Samie Weber finished right on the heels of Therkelsen, recording five kills apiece. Sondrup led the team in blocks, stuffing back nine, including two solo. Freshman Tanna Taylor dished out a team-high 18 assists in her first appearance at setter. Freshman Gayle Tripp led the team in digs with 13.
Tess Rogers led the Rams with 11 kills while Ashley Fornstrom had 41 assists, three aces, four blocks and three kills, hitting .600.
