TUCSON, Ariz. – The New Mexico State volleyball team erased a two-set deficit and stormed back to win its season opener, 22-25, 16-25, 25-20, 25-19, 25-20, 15-10, against UC San Diego at the Cactus Classic in Tucson, Ariz., on Friday afternoon. The Tritons received eight votes in the AVCA Preseason Coaches Poll.
"We were on the struggle bus to start the match and it was hard to watch," said head coach Mike Jordan. "We made some adjustments that helped and of course I'm glad we got away with a win but we certainly need to do some things a lot better going forward.
