Dawgs Look To Heat Up Tonight In Ft. Collins

By Athletic Communications on December 4, 2009 3:11 PM | No Comments

Washington is trying to keep warm in frigid Fort Collins in anticipation of tonight's NCAA Second Round match against the Colorado State Rams. Temperatures in town today did rise near the freezing point after dropping into the teens and single digits much of the past two days.

The Huskies will try to turn up the heat on the Rams at CSU's Moby Arena tonight at 7 p.m. local time, 6 p.m. Pacific. A live stream will be available on Colorado State's website here.

Washington had a light practice this afternoon, concentrating on serving and passing drills. Coach McLaughlin has had the Huskies working all week on adjusting their service aim to factor in the high altitude in Colorado. The Dawgs served up four aces and nine errors last night, but the later match between CSU and Middle Tennessee was filled with service miscues by both teams, and tough serving will be a big key tonight for UW's success.

Lunch was picked up at Panera, and Washington also had two film sessions today focusing on the Rams in one of the hotel conference rooms. The team will load up the bus and head back to Moby Arena around 5:30 p.m. local time. Hopefully Eaton, Colorado native Kindra Carlson's big contingent of fans will once again help offset Colorado State's home court edge!
