Box Score | Season Statistics | Mountain West Tournament Central

FRESNO, Calif. --- The University of New Mexico blitzed past the No. 8 seeded Air Force Falcons, sweeping doubles and then winning three quick singles matches for a 4-0 quarterfinal victory in the Mountain West Tournament, being hosted by Fresno State.

The Lobos, who moved to 14-7 on the season, advanced to the semifinals, where the team will face either UNLV or San Diego State. Air Force's season ended at 12-13 following back-to-back losses to UNM.

The Lobos, who faced off with Air Force just five days ago and squeaked out a 4-3 victory, had no such drama unfold on a resplendent morning in Fresno.
