LAS CRUCES, N.M. – Once again, New Mexico State (10-4, 1-0 WAC) and Seattle U (7-7, 0-1 WAC) took five sets to determine a winner, with the Aggies coming out on top with a 25-16, 25-15, 23-25, 21-25, 15-13 decision, to start the Western Athletic Conference season.

I really expected this to be a close match. Then the 10-minute break happened, and it changes the momentum sometimes.
