Volleyball: New Mexico loses in 5 sets to Boise State, drops to 1-1 in MW play

The opportunity was there, but a sluggish start and a stumble at the finish cost UNM a perfect start to the Mountain West.

New Mexico’s start to what would become a 3-2 loss to Boise State on Saturday was not how head coach Jeff Nelson drew it up in the pregame, and it took the Lobos an entire game to get going.

“We came out in game one and didn’t follow a gameplan,” Nelson said. “We got back on the gameplan in game two and had a lot of success.”

The Lobos came out of the gates with little energy, as team captain Julia Warren remained on the sideline for a second straight night.
