New Mexico’s quest to rise in the Mountain West fell short in a fiveset heartbreaker against Wyoming on Thursday night in Johnson Center.
It was a roller coaster of a night for the Lobos as a whole, as the squad couldn’t find any sort of consistency on the night.
In the first set, UNM appeared to have things rolling with crisp passes and shots ripping off of the hardwood. However, the Lobos hit lull in their pursuit to overcome Wyoming (19-6, 9-4 MW) for third place in the conference.
"In the first set, our offense was terrific it gave me the opportunity to set whoever I wanted and Wyoming didn’t know where to go,” senior setter Hannah Johnson said.
