The Mountain West Conference volleyball play is in full swing.

at how the rest of the conference is doing and what they face

next.

Air Force Academy (10-8, 1-4)

The Falcons lost their fourth conference match this weekend

against San Diego State. It was also the team’s fourth consecutive

loss. Currently seventh in the conference, Air Force returns home

to host Wyoming and Colorado State this weekend.

Brigham Young University (13-5, 3-2)

Oct. 7 the Cougars beat in-state rival Weber State. The Cougars

are 52-0 lifetime against WSU. Friday BYU lost to conference foe

Utah. After losing the first two games, the Cougars won game three

by the score of 30-19, but lost game four 30-20. BYU hosts a

weekend series against San Diego State and UNLV with matches Friday

and Saturday nights.

Colorado State University (14-4, 5-0)

The Rams lead the conference and still have not lost a

conference match. CSU won their seventh straight match this weekend

against Wyoming, sweeping the Cowgirls in three games. The Rams go

on the road this weekend to face New Mexico and Air Force.

San Diego State University (12-8, 3-2)

After losing on the road to CSU on Oct. 4, the Aztecs have won

their last three matches at home, completing three game sweeps of

New Mexico and Air Force over the weekend. Currently fourth place

in the MWC, San Diego will take a trip through Utah this weekend to

play BYU and Utah.

University of New Mexico (3-15, 0-5)

The Lobos still have not won a conference game, losing to SDSU

Friday night and UNLV on Saturday. Both matches were decided in

three games. The last match the Lobos won was on Sept. 6 against

University of Delaware. New Mexico returns home this weekend

looking for security and their first conference win. They face CSU

Friday night and Wyoming on Saturday.

University of Nevada- Las Vegas (8-8, 2-3)

After losing five straight matches, the Rebels broke out against

Air Force last Thursday, winning their first conference match in

five games. They didn’t look back and quickly defeated New Mexico

in three games on Saturday. Junior setter Nikki King returned to

action against Air Force after an ankle injury. The team is 8-2 in

games that she has started. UNLV goes on a Utah road trip to face

the Utes and BYU this weekend.

University of Utah (10-6, 4-1)

After starting the season 6-4, the Utes have improved their

record through conference play. Their only conference loss was to

CSU. The Utes, picked to win the conference this year, have won

their last three matches and hope their road success continues at

home. The Utes play Air Force and New Mexico this weekend in Salt

Lake City.
