BOULDER — The Coors Events Center magic was back on Sunday afternoon as the University of Colorado volleyball team shocked No. 6 Stanford to earn its first ever win over the Cardinal, ending a 14-match losing streak 3-1 (25-23, 27-25, 23-25, 25-21).
“I’m happy because this group of players is the group that was able to have this extraordinary win and to change what’s been happening,” head coach Liz Kritza said. “The last time we played Stanford here, it was a really high level match. We’ve been a team that can knock off anybody coming into our gym and we can play a certain number of sets with any team in the country. But this win is significant because it’s actualizing what these girls put in to build this program. I could not be prouder of the effort.”
Sophomore Gabby Simpson was on fire, hammering a career-high 25 kills while hitting .405 with just eight errors on 42 attacks. Senior Alexis Austin had 17 kills in the win.
“We’ve been trying to beat them for four years now,” Austin said. “To finally get that win, it’s great. And now we have to carry it on to all the other games.”
“It feels great,” senior Nicole Edelman said. “I remember freshman year getting swept in three pretty easily. I think it shows all of the dedication and hard work that we’ve put in. Alexis and I have been playing against most of those starters for a long time, because most of them are seniors. They’re all great players, but it definitely feels good to get that win.”
