The New Mexico volleyball team continued to show improvement against some of the top programs in the nation, but could not pull out a victory.
The Lobos (3-5) lost a 3-2 heartbreaker to the Arizona State Sun Devils (3-2), and fell later in the day by a score of 4-1 to the Arizona Wildcats (3-2) in Tempe, Arizona on Sunday.
“We’re still getting better with each match,” head coach Jeff Nelson said in a release. “It was an exciting day...The level was really high.”
Arizona State was ranked No. 9 in the DiG Magazine Poll and 12th in the AVCA Poll entering the match, and the Sun Devils showed why they were deserving of the ranking.
