Cowgirls Sweep Rhode Island to Close Out Fort Worth Trip
The Wyoming Cowgirls wrapped up their time at the Fight in the Fort with a statement win Friday morning, sweeping Rhode Island in three sets to finish the weekend on a high note. After dropping tough matches to No. 23 Missouri and No. 15 TCU on Thursday, Wyoming answered with a focused and dominant performance that never let the Rams gain momentum.
Final: Wyoming 3, Rhode Island 0
Records: Wyoming (3-5), Rhode Island (2-5)
From the opening serve, the Cowgirls controlled the tempo. The offense looked sharper, with fewer unforced errors than in the previous two matches, while the back row anchored by steady defense kept rallies alive and wore down Rhode Island’s attack. Clean execution in serve-receive and consistent blocking sealed the sweep.
This win is more than just another mark in the win column. It shows the resilience of this group. Less than 24 hours after narrowly missing a chance to push Missouri to five sets — when Wyoming held set point late in the fourth — the Cowgirls shook off the disappointment and came back with energy, poise, and fire.
The sweep gives Wyoming a boost of confidence heading into the upcoming Mountain West schedule. The early non-conference gauntlet has exposed areas to improve, but it has also proven the Cowgirls can hang with top competition and then take care of business when favored.
Bottom line: Friday’s win was exactly what this team needed — a momentum builder, a reminder of their potential, and a chance to head home with positive vibes.
Go Cowgirls! 🟤
