NM State (9-4) trounced the winless Tigers (0-14) 25-9, 25-14, 25-13.
 
"We're glad everyone got a chance to play and for the most part, played well," said NM State Head Coach Mike Jordan. "We needed to get that."
 
The Aggies got stellar performances from Arizonans Gwen Murphy and Jordan Abelos.
 
Murphy, a senior from Elfrida, Ariz./Valley Union, collected eight kills, hit .800 for the match and collected five blocks.
