Colorado state volleyball tournament day 1: Battle Mountain falls to Windsor in 4A first round

No. 7 Windsor went on a 5-0 run in the third set to complete a sweep of No. 10 Battle Mountain in the first round of the 4A Colorado state volleyball tournament on Thursday morning at the Denver Coliseum. The Wizards defeated the Huskies 25-18, 25-23, 25-20 to advance to face No. 2 Palisade late Thursday night. Battle Mountain moves now to the elimination bracket, where on Friday morning the team will face the loser of Thursday afternoon’s matchup between No. 1 Lewis-Palmer and No. 8 Timnath. Battle Mountain got out to a nice lead in the second set against Windsor — a team the black and gold lost to in the third round of the elimination bracket at state last year as well. But the Wizards went on a 13-3 run to take control. Eagle County’s other state representative, No. 3 Vail Christian, kicked off its 2A state tournament title bid Thursday evening against No. 6 Lyons. The Saints (22-3) defeated the Lions (20-5) in five sets during the regular season.
