LAS CRUCES, N.M. – After a road trip to Abilene, Texas, for the ACU Tournament, NM State returns home to host two events: the Aggie Invitational (Oct. 17-20) and the ITA Mountain Regional Championship (Oct. 17-22). 

These tournaments mark two of the final three competitions for the Aggies this fall. The ITA Mountain Regional will feature a strong field of teams, including Air Force, Boise State, BYU, Colorado, Colorado State, Denver, Idaho, Idaho State, Montana, Montana State, Northern Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, UNLV, Utah, Utah State, Utah Tech, UTEP, Weber State, and Wyoming.
