The Colorado Premier Challenge is not just a clever name. Every year, slews of top-25 teams head to Denver for a challenging two days of matches between some of the elite programs of DII women’s volleyball.
This year is no different, as West Texas A&M — DII women’s volleyball’s defending champions — and Concordia-St. Paul — DII women’s volleyball’s most decorated team in its history — are just two of the headliners.

1. The stars shine bright on one of DII women’s volleyball’s largest stages. Since the tournament began in 1996, the host schools — Regis and MSU Denver — never fail to stack the field at this event. The two teams themselves are perennial top-25 teams, with Regis opening the season at No. 18 and the Roadrunners coming in at No. 3. In fact, the Roadrunners join the top-four schools in the AVCA preseason poll with No. 1 West Texas A&M, No. 2 Concordia-St. Paul and No. 4 Wayne State (Neb) all on the schedule.
