The first of 31 regular season matches is just 15 days away for the University of Wyoming Cowgirl volleyball team. Four separate non-conference tournaments precede an 18-match Mountain West slate.

Reed Copeland, No. 15 for the Cowgirls, made quite the impression during her first season in Laramie. She was the MW’s Freshman of the Year and led the nation in total blocks and blocks per set. Copeland’s 190 total blocks and 121 in conference play were both MW freshman records.

Biggest pet peeve? When people ruin Snapchat stories.

Other than volleyball, what about the Olympics do you like most? Gymnastics & swimming.

Most famous person ever met? One time, I saw Macklemore buying coffee downtown.

If one teammate had a reality show, who would it be? I could see Laura Beach with a cooking show where she talked about all the recipes she liked to bake for her children. It would take place in the kitchen of her home (maybe by the fireplace), as her kids are running around smiling and cracking jokes.
