Beach Volleyball: Lobos capture first win over a ranked team

The Lobo beach volleyball team split its two final road matches of regular season in Tempe, Arizona on Friday.

New Mexico fell 4-1 to No. 19 Arizona State, but bounced back to beat No. 20 California 3-2 to end its winless streak this season against top teams.

“I am really happy for our team finally getting that win over a ranked team this season,” head coach Jeff Nelson said in a release. “We have been in several tight matches and really just pulled out a couple good wins the past two weeks.”

The Lobos (15-10) were on a seven-match win streak but were not able to extend it, losing to the Arizona State Sun Devils (13-14).
