Volleyball: Tough task on tap in SoCal

New Mexico’s start to the 2015 campaign has been far from a stroll in the park.

The Lobos have had no time to ease into the season, as head coach Jeff Nelson created an opening schedule against some fierce opponents. However, Nelson said his squad’s upcoming trip to Southern California will be unlike the previous two tournaments of the year.

“This weekend coming up is the toughest one of the year, we feel,” Nelson said.

UNM will begin the USC Classic today at 1:30 p.m. against Pepperdine, a team that is catching a lot of attention.
