Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

Denver, Colo.: For the second straight day the Ranger volleyball team defeated a top 25 team, this time beating #25 West Florida 3-2 behind 17 kills from senior Jessica Howe.  Regis fell in the first two sets but their resilency showed in winning the next three at the Colorado Premier Challenge.
