The Colorado State women's volleyball team was willing to play San José State, which has a transgender player, in the Mountain West Conference tournament final, and it ended the Spartans' season.

The San Jose State University women’s volleyball team is set to face Boise State University Friday at the Mountain West tournament in what would usually be a celebration of athletic prowess and achievement.

A federal judge ruled that the player, who is at the center of a controversy over transgender athletes, can participate in a women’s volleyball conference tournament this week.
