BOULDER— Junior Alexis Austin and senior Taylor Simpson combined for 46 kills to lead the University of Colorado volleyball team in a five-set battle against No. 17 Arizona State, but the Buffs fell just short, losing 3-2 (25-23, 25-23, 18-25, 15-25, 15-13) on Friday night at the Coors Events Center.
“It’s not necessarily the result of the loss; there’s no shame in losing to the No. 17 team in the country,” head coach Liz Kritza said. “However, everybody on the inside of this program expects more.
