NM State Sees Opening Set Slip Away Before Falling to USC
LOS ANGELES – After being on the brink of opening the match with a first-set win, the Aggies (6-3, 0-0 WAC) fell to Southern California (6-3, 0-0 Pac-12) in straight sets (26-24, 25-17, 25-16).
"We looked really good for a while and unfortunately we got tentative late in the first set and blew a lead," said Head Coach following the contest. "If we're more aggressive situationally, we can play with quality programs like USC. If not, we'll struggle. We need a large group of people to step up and battle and hopefully, the moment won't be too big for them."
Outside hitter led the Aggies' offense with 12 kills while also turned in a solid performance – finishing with six kills on just nine swings.
