The University of Colorado became a member of the PAC 12 Conference in 2010 and began competition in 2011. In most sports, the Buffs demonstrated they were not ready for prime time. Volleyball was no exception.
The Lady Buffs won only 1 of 22 matches in their first season. The home court was marginally more friendly to the Buffs than the road. They lost eight matches by a score of 3-0 and won a total of 5 sets in the friendly confines of the Coors Event Center. On a positive note, they won their only conference match at home.
Only once during the season were more than 1,000 people in attendance at the matches in 2011.

The Lady Buffs have made progress; both on the courts and in the promotion of the program; however, the University of Washington has set a benchmark for CU and other conference members.
In addition to winning the 2013 PAC-12 title, the Huskies average attendance was over 3,800. Only twice was their home attendance less than 2,000.
