The University of New Mexico volleyball team has a big stage prepared for this weekend. Coach Jeff Nelson wants a big performance.
The Lobos will make a rare appearance at the Pit when they host this weekend’s Days Inn and Suites Lobo Invitational. Cal State Northridge, Long Island-Brooklyn and LSU round out the field.
UNM is leaving its normal home court at Johnson Center because “The Book of Mormon” is playing at nearby Popejoy Hall. On-campus traffic and parking figure to be congested at best.
So, Nelson and his team are making themselves at home at the Pit, where they last competed for three matches in 2012.
