It was the first match of the season, and New Mexico beach volleyball looked sharp in a 5-0 shutout of Benedictine University at Mesa on Thursday in Arizona.
The No. 18 Lobos (1-0) did not find much difficulty in the match, as all five pairs won in straight sets against the fledgling Redhawks (1-6-1).
“I think it was a great start to the season,” head coach Jeff Nelson said in a release. “Everyone got out and played and played well at times. We didn’t drop a single game…I think it’s always good to have a match where we can work the jitters out.
