ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — After four straight five-set matches against Fresno State, the Lobos had every right to expect another drawn-out battle against the Bulldogs Thursday night.
Instead, they got a quick sweep and a much-needed victory.
Cassie House tallied 13 kills and middle blockers Skye Gullatt and Simone Henderson combined for 16 kills and 5 ½ blocks to power New Mexico volleyball to a sweep of Fresno State, 25-21, 25-23, 25-22.
The Lobos bounced back after a tough four-match road stretch with a superb showing Thursday night, handing Fresno State its first three-set loss since early September behind a reinvigorated team mentality and strong team play.
