...and into the fire.

Shocks continue there tough pre-season schedule against #14 Colorado State tonight at 8:00 pm CT.

CSU owns a 3-2 home win over Nebraska and a sweep over Arkansas. The did get swept by OU (who is waiting right around the corner for the Shocks).

Apparently, Northern Colorado won't be a pushover either.

The match against the Nova KMB Maribor team from Slovenia will be a little bit of a break in that it is an exhibition and won't count on the record, but it should be high level competition. CSU defeat NOVA KMB Maribor last night in 4 sets by scores of 27-29, 26-24, 25-23 and 25-15.

Saturday's matches are at Noon and 5:30 CT.

Good luck, Shocks!

Shocks win a real battle in Set 1 with a tough 28-26 win. Sounds like they are playing well.

They did have 6 service errors but they also had 4 aces.

Strong serving by Waldo and two nice solo blocks by Emily Adney.

Shockers win a nail biter 28-26 first set. :yahoo:

[1972Shocker]

Lambo said one of the things he wanted to try to do was to keep CSU from getting on a roll because they can really feed off of momentum.

Jackie opens set 2 with a service error to give the early momentum to the Rams.

Shocks down in 1-5 set 2.

[1972Shocker]

Shocks fell behind early and trailed 11-19 before making a run to pull within 3 but could get no closer. CSU takes the 2nd set 25-19.

Camri and Sam apparently are hurting some as both were game time decision as to whether they would start or not. Not sure how big of a factor, if any, that has been.

Emily playing very well in her home state.

[sistyugler]

shox take set 3 25-20.

[1972Shocker]

Shocks with a strong 25-20 win in Set 3 to go up 2-1.

Let's go Ladies. Take this one. We can't let this opportunity slip away.

Shocks take the 3rd set 25-20. Emily continues to play great with 15 kills while hitting .389.

Shocks take the 3rd set 25-20. Emily continues to play great with 15 kills while hitting .389.

Only 1 hitting error I think and that came in Set 3.

[bunck]

We can do this!

Looks like UNI lost the 1st 2 to KU but then won the last 3, they play #6 Minnesota tomorrow after they play St. Louis.

[1972Shocker]

UNI is a tough minded bunch.

[1972Shocker]

Sounds like CSU has decided to try and take Emily away and let one of the other Shocks try to beat them.

:goshocks:

[1972Shocker]

Yeah Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

:yahoo:

[shock10]

WSU wins

[1972Shocker]

One of the biggest, if not the biggest win in Shocker Volleyball history.

Great match by our Colorado girl, Emily Adney -- how good is that.

Camri stepped up huge when CSU started to focus more on Emily, plus 6 service aces from Camri.

What about the solo block by Sam Sanders at 19-19 in Set 4. Maybe the key point of the set.

You got to love it Shocker fans!
