A sour start to conference play leaves New Mexico searching for answers.
The Lobos came into tonight’s game disgruntled about its fifth-place preseason placement, but had a rough showing against the Aztecs in the three set loss. UNM suffered a 3-0 sweep in the team’s Mountain West opener against San Diego State in a sloppy showing on the Lobos’ home court.
New Mexico had trouble putting anything together offensively, giving SDSU (4-9, 1-0 MW) plenty of room for errors of its own. Neither team hit above .176 on a night filled with miscues.
Although the Lobos were able to jump out to early leads in each set of the match, UNM’s inability to get into any sort of rhythm plagued the team for its second consecutive loss.
