- Western Colorado is coming off a historic start to the season after completing a perfect 4-0 weekend at last weekend's invitational. The Mountaineers carried strong momentum throughout the tournament and will look to keep that same energy rolling as they travel to the Aloha State.
- Western will face another busy weekend in Hawaii, with four matches on the schedule. The Mountaineers will look to build on their impressive start while continuing to establish themselves as one of the top teams early in the season.
- Sierra Long will be one of the key players to watch for Western after leading the Mountaineers' attack last weekend. Long recorded a team-high 45 kills across the four matches and consistently provided a spark offensively. She will look to continue her strong play in Hawaii while helping lead the Mountaineers' attack.
- This weekend will also serve as a homecoming of sorts for several Mountaineers, including Long, Anuhea Ka'alele and Emily Robins, who will have the opportunity to compete in their home state.
- Western will open the weekend against Western Oregon, with the Mountaineers holding an 0-1 all-time record against the Wolves. The remaining three matchups will be new territory for Western, as the Mountaineers will face each of those opponents for the first time in program history.
- Ka'alele will also be a player to watch throughout the weekend as she looks to make an impact in the middle and help orchestrate the Mountaineer offense. She led Western with 86 assists over the four matches last weekend, helping keep the offense moving and putting her teammates in position to make plays.
- Olivia Moore was also a key contributor at setter, finishing the weekend with 71 assists. With both Ka'alele and Moore running the offense, Western will have a strong one-two punch at setter as the Mountaineers look to continue their hot start and come away with another successful weekend in Hawaii.
