OREM, Utah – The New Mexico State volleyball team fell 26-24, 25-20, 20-25, 22-25, 16-18, at Utah Valley on Monday night in a Western Athletic Conference match.
 Congrats to UVU," said head coach Mike Jordan." We had a lot of chances but unfortunately we made a ton of errors both physical and mental.  Hopefully we learn from the mistakes we made and do a better job tomorrow."

The Aggies (10-1, 10-1 WAC) and Wolverines (9-3, 9-2 WAC) traded points to start the first set with UVU pulling ahead 11-7 early in the set. However, a 5-0 Aggie run put them back in front 12-11 before UVU took a 24-22 lead late in the set. Then, Savannah Davison sparked a 4-0 Aggie run to end the set 26-24 in favor of the Aggies.
 
Much like the first set, UVU was able to take an early, 9-7, in the second set before an Aggie run gave them a 15-11 lead. NM State eventually built its lead to 23-17 before closing out the set for the 25-20 final.
 
However, the Aggies struggled to close out the Wolverines who won the next three sets for the five-set victory.
 
NM State's high-powered offense struggled, hitting just .169 on the day with 38 errors while holding UVU to .156 hitting. Davison hit 13 kills with Lipscomb, Barrett and Birtcil each adding 12.
 
The Aggies are back in action tomorrow, March 8, at 12 p.m. (MT) with a rematch against Utah Valley at Lockhart Arena. Fans can stream all the action live on the WAC Digital Network.
