    The Aggies fall to Colorado State in Fort Collins in their 2026 opener 3-0 (25-21, 25-16,25-16).

    The Ags hung tough in the first set but were simply overpowered by the taller Rams in the final two sets. The kills were fairly even with the Rams having 32 and the Aggies 30 but the big difference was the 25 Aggie errors to the Rams 8. The Ags also had a tough time with the Rams' 6'7, senior, middle blocker who had 7 blocks.

    Colorado State finished 21-9 overall last season and finished second in the MWC. The Aggies won the Big West title last year and finished 21-7 overall.

    The Ags face Northern Colorado tomorrow and #11 Southern Methodist on Sunday.

    Getting any win on this road trip is a major accomplishment. At Colorado State - picked to win the Pac 12; at Northern Colorado - picked to win the Big Sky; playing #11 SMU on a neutral court. Tough opening 3 matches.

    This preseason the Aggies will also play 3 other teams picked to win their conferences: San Diego (WCC); Cal Poly (Big West) and Arizona State (Big 12). Plus 3 other P4 opponents - Cal, Oregon and USC.

    We certainly won't have a "deer in the headlights" look once the MWC play begins!

    You can watch it on YouTube.

    #11 SMU took the first 2 sets and the Ags came back to take sets 3 & 4. It's currently tied at 4-4 in the 5th set.

    11-9 Ags in the 5th set. Two straight service errors hurt us but we still have the lead.

    Currently at our cabin in MT - issues with internet at times. Especially with streaming. Just watch Live Stats. Anyway, don't want to jinx buy changing what we're doing. GO AGS!!

    Just went down 12-15 in 5th set. Heck of an effort. Didn't blink, didn't back down. Lots to build on.

    I think I jinxed them.

    Great effort though! SMU is ranked #11 and is undefeated. Dan Connors is building a strong D1 program here and volleyball gets pretty good support from the Davis community. Quite a few SMU fans were commenting on YouTube that this was a "surprisingly difficult" game.

    After beating #10 Penn State earlier, I expect SMU to move up.

    I missed the game but surprised by the result. I watched some of Nebraska crush smu earlier this week in a non-ncaa sanctioned tournament held in the att stadium in Dallas (cowboys home). There are lots of quality programs out there and perhaps the Ags can continue to move up
