CSU Pueblo volleyball enters the final weekend of the regular season one game outside the RMAC Tournament field, but its postseason path is simple: beat Western Colorado on Friday and Fort Lewis on Saturday, and the ThunderWolves qualify. The team is coming off a three-set win over New Mexico Highlands; Fort Lewis currently holds the eighth and final spot.

By the Numbers
  • CSU Pueblo: 11-14 overall, 5-7 in RMAC play; ninth place.
  • Fort Lewis: 13-11 overall, 6-6 in RMAC play; eighth place.
  • Western Colorado: 10-14 overall, 4-8 in RMAC play; 8-3 at home.
  • A two-win weekend would put CSU Pueblo at 7-7 in conference play and clinch a tournament berth.
Yes, But

The ThunderWolves control their own fate, but the first test comes at a Western Colorado team that has been tough to beat at home. Fort Lewis also enters Saturday in the final tournament spot and recently earned a five-set road win over UCCS.

State of Play
  • Six teams have clinched tournament spots; Adams State is seventh, with Fort Lewis eighth and CSU Pueblo ninth.
  • CSU Pueblo visits Western Colorado Friday, Nov. 6, at 6 p.m. MT, then plays Fort Lewis Saturday, Nov. 7, at 5 p.m. MT.
  • The RMAC Tournament begins Nov. 10.
What's Next

CSU Pueblo must win both road matches to secure a berth without relying on other results. A loss would leave the ThunderWolves’ postseason chances dependent on the remaining conference outcomes.

Bottom Line

Two matches will decide whether CSU Pueblo’s season continues: win both, and the ThunderWolves are in.
