This is no ordinary season-opening tournament for head coach Jeff Nelson and his New Mexico volleyball squad.
UNM will compete in three games in Muncie, Indiana during the Ball State Active Ankle Challenge. Not only will Nelson face off against some of his former coaching staff, but UNM may be able to award its head coach with his 400th career win - and on a national stage, no less.
The tournament will also be a homecoming for Nelson, as Ball State is his alma mater.
Although Nelson is shooting for a milestone this weekend, he hasn’t hinted anything to his team involving No.
