RANGELY, Colo. – Colorado Northwestern Community College (CNCC) Volleyball has officially released its 2025 schedule, and fans can expect an exciting mix of preseason tournaments, fierce conference showdowns, and marquee home events inside Hefley Arena this fall.
Head Coach Casey Quiggle, entering his second season at the helm, has built a strong early foundation and now looks to lead the Spartans into a competitive Scenic West Athletic Conference (SWAC) campaign with confidence and momentum.
Tournaments, Tests, and Tune-Ups
The Spartans will open the 2025 season on the road at Gillette College on August 28, at the Gillette College Labor Day Tournament. That will be followed by preseason tournaments over the next several weekends including the Yavapai College Tournament, the Central Wyoming College Tournament, and the WyoBraska Tournament. The exact matchups for several of these early tournament games remain TBD, with schedules to be finalized by host sites in the coming weeks.
