Both teams recorded 37 kills and 42 digs in the contest, but it was at the net defensively where Wyoming (6-7, 2-0 MW) did most of its damage. The Cowgirls enjoyed a 17-4 domination in team blocks in the win. The 17 blocks are a season-best for Wyoming. UW also hit .304 on the day while holding the Falcons (9-5, 1-1 MW) to just an .088 attack percentage.

Sarah Holcomb led a balanced Wyoming attack, as she recorded nine kills on just 15 swings. Holcomb was also just shy of another double-double, as she tallied 10 blocks in the sweep. For the week, Holcomb averaged 2.13 blocks per set.

Addy Cook added six kills while hitting .357. Paige Lauterwasser and Jordan Sandy added five each. Sandy hit .417 on the day and had five blocks of her own. Lauterwasser led the Cowgirls with nine digs in the sweep.

Both Sara Quigley and Maddy Stucky had 16 assists in the contest and recorded seven and six digs, respectively. A trio of Cowgirls, Skylar Erickson, Lauterwasser and Sandy recorded a service ace, each giving Wyoming three for the match.

Wyoming will hit the road now next week for the first time in conference play this season. The Cowgirls open things at new Mountain West member Grand Canyon, Thursday at 7 p.m.

University of Wyoming’s Top 50 Football Players

During the summer of 2021, 7220Sports.com counted down the Top 50 football players in University of Wyoming history, presented by Premier Bone & Joint Centers, Worthy of Wyoming.

The rules are simple: What was the player's impact while in Laramie? That means NFL stats, draft status or any other accolade earned outside of UW is irrelevant when it comes to this list.

This isn't a one-man job. This task called for a panel of experts. Joining 7220's Cody Tucker are Robert Gagliardi, Jared Newland, Ryan Thorburn, and Kevin McKinney.

We all compiled our own list of 50 and let computer averages do the work. Think BCS -- only we hope this catalog is fairer.
