New Mexico volleyball countered after dropping the first set, but still fell 3-1 to UNLV in an intense match Tuesday night in the Johnson Center.
“They are second place in the conference, we had a chance to win,” UNM head coach Jeff Nelson said in an interview.
Although the Lobos (10-10, 1-6 Mountain West) suffered their sixth straight loss, falling in four sets, 25-16, 19-25, 32-30, 25-16, the team may have gained some momentum from its bout with the Rebels (17-2, 6-1 Mountain West) before beginning its road trip.
After losing 11 sets in a row, UNM finally broke through in game two.
