Buffaloes Aim Higher This Season | Denver News

Colorado volleyball is back and bigger than ever, riding the momentum of last season’s historic 23-9 run that included stunning wins over ranked teams and a NCAA Tournament berth. With most of that star-studded roster returning—including All-American Ana Burilovic and key defenders Cayla Payne and Maria Splawska—the Buffaloes are now ranked 23rd nationally and picked fifth in the Big 12 preseason poll. Expectations are sky-high as they open at home against CSUN, with a new setter and veteran leadership poised to make this squad even more dangerous. Coach says growth and retention are the biggest storylines—this team isn’t just building on success; they’re ready to break through again.
