LAS CRUCES, N.M. – Every year, head coach Mike Jordan expects to win, with 16 of his last 18 teams winning 20 or more matches. To what extent, however, was up for debate prior to the 2019 season.
Before the 19-match winning streak, the 27-4 record and the perfect run through the Western Athletic Conference Tournament, there were questions about how far this team could go.
"We weren't sure if Cat Kelly could handle a full-time outside hitter role," Jordan said. "Krysten Garrison was going to have to set for the first time, Lia Mosher was coming back from injury and we weren't sure how she was going to fit into everything.
