While facing a 2-0 deficit in Las Vegas, the Lobos comeback pursuit fell short on Thursday night.
New Mexico has had problems all season long in the fifth set and Thursday night’s showing against the Rebels was no different. UNM (14-13, 7-7 MW) have gone 1-6 in matches extending to five games.
Junior outside hitter Cassie House put up a fine night on the stat sheet collecting a season-high 19 kills, digging out four balls, and assisting on a block. From outside the block, House hit .319, but her efforts were to no avail as the Lobos couldn’t find a way to win three sets in a row.
