After an upsetting four-game losing streak on the home court, the Eagle volleyball team will volley for a win as they travel to Colorado this week.

Their first match against the Colorado State University-Pueblo ThunderWolves is at 7 p.m. tonight. The ThunderWolves have a 7-13 record to rival the Eagle’s 3-16 record.

After the Eagles contend with the ThunderWolves, they will travel to Gunnison, Colo., to try to edge the score in their favor and harness the Western State Colorado University Mountaineers at 7 p.m., Friday. The Mountaineers have a season record of 1-18.

As a third and final push for the weekend, the Eagles will travel to Alamosa, Colo. to claw at a win against the Adams State University Grizzlies at 7 p.m., Saturday. The Grizzlies have a season record of 9-10.

However, the Eagles shot to come back won’t end in Alamosa. The Eagles will face the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology Hardrockers, Rapid City, at 6 p.m., Tuesday at Armstrong Gymnasium. The Eagles fell to the 6-17 Hardrockers two weeks ago in Rapid City, but this time the Eagles will have the home court advantage over the Hardrockers.
