This was the first Aggie volleyball game with fans in the Pan Am since Nov. 16, 2019.
"I don't think we're real confident yet so it's easy for a young team to hang it up after the second and third set," said head coach Mike Jordan. "But we kept battling and I think a lot of that was the defensive effort.
