Rolling out a new starting lineup that featured outsider hitter Julia Warren starting at libero, the Lobos (9-8 overall, 2-2 MW) and their offense never got on track against the Rams (12-3, 5-0) at Moby Arena in Fort Collins.“Colorado State is a good team,” New Mexico head coach Jeff Nelson said. “They did a lot of really good things. But we struggled. We struggled on our right and we struggled with some of our left-side attacks. … We’re just making too many errors.”
Hoping to steady their inconsistent back-row defense, the Lobos looked to Warren, the MW’s Designated Libero in 2014.
