Biassou, Guereca spark UNM volleyball to victory

Some of the statistics did not appear dominant, but the final score did.

The University of New Mexico volleyball team opened Mountain West play with a convincing three-set win over Air Force at Johnson Center on Tuesday night. The Lobos (10-2, 1-0) led nearly all the way in a 25-20, 25-16, 25-17 sweep.

Outside hitters Kaitlynn Biassou and Uxue Guereca were the difference-makers, combining for 27 of UNM’s 39 kills. Biassou racked up 14 kills with a .524 hitting percentage, while Guereca had 13 kills and hit .429.

“Those are some very nice numbers for Kait and Uxue,” Lobos coach Jon Newman-Gonchar said.
