Southern Utah heads to Northern Colorado on Thursday for its final road match of the season. The Thunderbirds aim to build on four straight matches with at least 30 kills, but face a Bears team that has won four in a row and beat SUU in straight sets earlier this season.

By the Numbers
  • Southern Utah has recorded at least 30 kills in 4 consecutive matches.
  • Northern Colorado is 14-11 overall and 10-4 in Big Sky play.
  • The Bears won the teams’ Oct. 3 meeting, 3-0.
  • Natalie Moore leads SUU with 63 blocks this season.
Yes, But

SUU’s recent offensive and defensive numbers show momentum, but Northern Colorado presents a tough test: the Bears have won four straight, hit above .320 in 2 of their last 3 matches, and have held opponents to a .188 hitting percentage this season.

What’s Next

The Thunderbirds visit the Bears in Greeley on Thursday, Nov. 12, at 6 p.m. MT, then return to Cedar City for their final 2 matches of the season.

Bottom Line

Southern Utah closes its road schedule against a surging Northern Colorado team that has already swept the Thunderbirds once; sustaining its recent attack will be key to changing the result.
