It wasn’t perfect, but after a shaky second set from the University of New Mexico volleyball team, the Lobos rallied to win the final two sets to defeat the visiting UNLV Rebels on Wednesday evening at Johnson Gym.
UNLV entered the contest at 11-3 and a perfect 2-0 in the Mountain West, while New Mexico was a mediocre .500 and coming off of a loss to the Boise State Broncos.
Now, with the win, UNM (8-7) stands at 2-1 in conference play -- and is tied with UNLV in the Mountain West, respectively.
The Lobos started off the first set with confidence, as Lauren Twitty, a sophomore outside hitter, connected with force on the setup from her teammate to get a kill for the first point.
