GREEN RIVER – The Wyoming Cowgirl Volleyball team is set to clash with Weber State in an expedition match this Saturday, August 24th, at Green River High School’s Main Gym. This marks just the third meeting between the two teams, with each team claiming a victory in their previous encounters.
This matchup carries excitement as it is the first time the teams will face off outside of Laramie, where their clashes began in 2014. The teams have competed every five years since then, with Wyoming claiming the inaugural victory and Weber State edging out a 3-2 win in their last meeting in 2019.
Adding to the weekend’s volleyball festivities, a UW Youth Volleyball Clinic will be held the day prior at Green River High School’s Main Gym. The clinic, starting at 4:00 PM on Friday, August 23rd, offers young athletes a unique opportunity to learn from some of the best in the region. The session will last approximately one hour, concluding around 5:00 PM.
