After a dominant showing last weekend against LIU, Youngstown State and Sacred Heart, the UConn women’s volleyball team is looking to keep the momentum going. This weekend, they will travel to Hamilton, N.Y. to face Colgate University, Stony Brook University and the University of Buffalo.
On Friday, the Huskies will face Colgate University at 7 p.m. This will only be the second time these teams have faced one another, and the first time in six years that they will go head-to-head. The last time the two matched up was in August 2016, when UConn emerged victorious 3-1. The Raiders started the season on a difficult note, losing all three of last weekend’s games, two of which were lost 0-3. They will be looking to come back, change the direction of their season and make up for the lost games.
Next up, UConn will face the Stony Brook Seawolves on Saturday, Sept. 7 at 2 p.m. Much like the Huskies, the Seawolves are also coming off a winning weekend. The Seawolves won all three of their games last weekend 3-2. This will be the first time that the Huskies will face the Seawolves, who will also be looking to continue their winning streak during this weekend’s tournament.
Lastly, on Sunday, Sept. 8 at noon, the team will go against the University of Buffalo. The Bulls came into the season with a strong opening performance, winning their first four games. However, they lost some momentum and fell to Pittsburgh by 0-3 on Tuesday, Sept. 3. This will be the second time in history that these teams face each other. The last time being in 2021, when the Huskies fell 2-3. UConn will be looking to make up for that loss this weekend and maintain this season’s winning streak, whereas the Bulls will be looking to correct the mistakes that lead to their loss in Pittsburgh this past Tuesday.
All three games will take place in Hamilton, N.Y. The Colgate game will be available for streaming through ESPN+ or Patriot League TV. The other two games against Stony Brook and Buffalo will be available on YouTube.
