Western Colorado rallied past Colorado Christian, 3-1, on Senior Night, giving seniors Kyra Kidd, Sierra Long and Breanna Nohava a winning sendoff. The Mountaineers closed their season with their first victory over CCU since Nov. 6, 2021, and may have knocked the Cougars out of the No. 5 spot in the RMAC tournament.

Yes, But

CCU took the third set decisively and led by five in the fourth before Western rallied. The Mountaineers’ win could cost the Cougars the No. 5 seed, though the postseason seeding impact is described as likely, not confirmed.

Bottom Line

Western ended its season with a meaningful breakthrough: a Senior Night comeback, a long-awaited win over CCU and a sharp rebound from last year’s one-win campaign.
