Oct. 15, 2000 Rams Win 40th Straight at Moby Colorado State, 21-1 on the year and 7-0 in the conference, wrapped up a 3-0 week and extended its NCAA-leading home win streak to 40 matches. Courtney Cox led CSU with 19 kills vs. San Diego State and 12 kills vs. UNLV. The Rams are tied with Nebraska for the nation¹s longest overall win streak at 17 matches. Utes, Cougars Cruise To Weekend Victories Utah and BYU held strong at No. 2 and No. 3 in the standings after each recorded victories over New Mexico and Air Force last weekend.

Nina Puikkonen totaled 23 kills in the two wins and hit .486 for the weekend.

Aspen McPartland and Monet Solberg each recorded double-doubles to lead SDSU. Melody Friehauf had a match-high 18 kills for the Cowgirls, and Michele Rauter notched her sixth double-double of the year. Block Party

form. Grady racked up 13 total blocks in two matches, while Puikkonen talled 10 blocks in a pair of
