The Oklahoma volleyball team fell in three games (30-22, 30-24, 30-19) to Colorado on Wednesday night at the Coors Event Center.

Coats hit .400 on 20 swings, while tallying one solo block and two block assists. Werling hammered home nine kills and recorded her first error free match of the season, good for a .474 hitting percentage. The high hitting mark is a career-high for the second year Sooner. Schmitt failed to hit double-digits in kills for only the third time in her career. Despite missing a beat on offense, Schmitt picked up the pace on defense with six digs, one solo block and two block assists.
Senior Kelly McCarter and freshman Rachel Jackson shared setting duties and recorded 13 and 16 assists, respectively. McCarter recorded a team-high four block assists, while Jackson notched one solo block.
Seniors Christina Maynes and Yvette Villanueva tied Schmitt for the team lead with six digs apiece, while Maynes also collected four kills.
