OLORADO SUNSHINE

Where the good news shines

It’s been a great year for Metro State volleyball.

For the second straight season, the team finished ranked No. 3 in the final AVCA NCAA Division II poll of the season, matching the Roadrunners the highest season-ending finish in program history.

MSU Denver had the best winning percentage in program history (.938) while finishing 30-2. The team’s only losses were to the teams who played in the national championship match – West Texas A&M and Concordia-St. Paul (Minn.).

The Roadrunners had a 24-match winning streak, a second straight 18-0 run through the RMAC regular season, an RMAC-record 40 straight regular-season conference wins dating to the 2020 season and a RMAC Tournament championship this season.
