BOULDER — The Coors Events Center has become an ominous place for visitors to play as the third ranked opponent in a row, No. 25 Arizona, fell to the University of Colorado volleyball team 25-18, 25-19, 25-23 on Friday night.

“It’s fantastic for this group of players and the staff,” coach Liz Kritza said. “This was our third attempt at playing a ranked opponent at home, and to come away with the win and a victory is important for us, especially a sweep. It shows that our players are understanding what we need to do to be competitive and successful in this league. I like what I saw tonight and that we were playing a tough team that is coming off of what has been their most impressive play thus far in the season. We handled ourselves with great composure and did not let up when the opportunity presented itself. I’m really proud of these kids tonight.”

Earlier this season, the Buffs upset No. 11 UCLA and No. 1 Washington. The last time CU defeated three ranked opponents in a single season was in 2006. That year, the Buffs beat No. 17 Missouri, No. 1 Nebraska and No. 19 New Mexico State.
