LARAMIE, Wyo. (Nov. 12, 2026) – The Wyoming Cowgirls dropped a five-set heartbreaker Thursday night in their penultimate home match of the season. Wyoming lost to UC Davis 22-25, 25-18, 18-25, 25-21 and 15-12.
The two teams traded off controlling the match from set-to-set. After Wyoming won the first fairly convincingly, the Aggies didn't trail in the second to even the match at one set apiece. In the third, it was all Cowgirls as they looked to be in control of the contest. However, UC Davis was able to rally in the fourth and then held off a late UW rally to take the match.
Wyoming hit .234 on the night while the Aggies hit .231 as a team. UC Davis held a 10-9 edge in team blocks and had three more kills than the Cowgirls. The service line was where the match was won Thursday as UC Davis had a 7-2 advantage in aces. The Aggies also committed just seven serving errors to UW's 12.
Paige Lauterwasser continued her torrid string of matches, recording her fourth consecutive match with 20-plus kills and went for 20-or-more kills for the fifth time in the last six matches. Lauterwasser recorded a match-high 23 kills and hit .333. Lauterwasser also notched a double-double as she added 12 digs.
Emma Winter had 15 kills on the night and 10 digs to go along with four block assists. Rylee Heinz had seven kills and four total blocks of her own. Ruby Jensen and Addy Thorington, meanwhile, added six kills each. Thorington also accounted for Wyoming's two aces.
Sara Quigley tallied 47 assists and 10 digs in the loss while also adding five kills with no attack errors. Anna Melgren led the way 14 digs.
Next up is Senior Night Saturday for the Cowgirls. Lauterwasser, Evelyn Udezue and Winter will be honored prior to the match against UC Davis. First serve is set for 7 p.m.
