ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Griffon volleyball (4–0) continues its early-season road swing this weekend, traveling to Denver, Colorado for the 2025 Colorado Premier Challenge.
Tournament play begins at the Berce Athletic Center on the campus of Regis University, with other matches hosted at the Auraria Event Center by Metropolitan State University of Denver.
The Griffons open tournament action on Friday with a top-tier matchup against No. 2 Angelo State (Texas) at 11 am central. Later that day, MWSU faces No. 11 Concordia–St. Paul at 3 pm central - a rematch of last year's NCAA Tournament first-round contest.
Saturday's schedule will be determined based on the results from Friday's pool play matches. Saturday's schedule will be broken down into a gold, silver and bronze backet.

In her now fourth season, MWSU head coach
Jessica Fey has led the Griffons to seven wins over ranked opponents, including three last season.
MoWest enters this Premier Challenge after a promising start to the 2025 campaign.
The Griffons went 4–0 at last weekend's Gorilla Classic at John Lance Arena in Pittsburg, Kansas, sweeping Southern Arkansas and Truman State in straight sets, while also battling to five-set victories over host Pittsburg State and Lubbock Christian.
It marks the first 4-0 start for Griffon Volleyball since 2019.
