The Jaguars were unable to find travel alternatives to Boulder for tonight's game. The game will not be rescheduled in 2008-09.

"I am very disappointed to miss this opportunity for our young team to play," Buffaloes coach Kathy McConnell-Miller said. "We were excited to get back to Boulder and have the chance to compete in front of our fans at the Coors Events Center."

CU next plays Dec. 20 at the Coors Events Center, hosting Missouri-Kansas City at 7 p.m.

MOBY MADNESS The NCAA volleyball regional in Fort Collins begins tonight without the host - Colorado State - many thought would be there.

No. 6 Hawaii (30-3) plays No. 17 Purdue (26-8) in the first match at 5 p.m., followed by No. 2 Stanford (28-3) and No. 10 Florida (27-3), which beat CSU last week in Gainesville, Fla.

While Hawaii and Stanford are expected to advance to Saturday's final, their coaches aren't so sure.

"I don't want to even hear that," Hawaii coach Dave Shoji said after a 90-minute workout. "We have business with a very good team, and we aren't even thinking about Saturday. We're thinking about Friday."

"Somebody might know something I don't," Stanford coach John Dunning said. "We have to play both matches."
