LAS CRUCES, N.M. – Coming home for one game before heading back on the road, NM State (12-8, 4-4 WAC) was unable to earn itself a bit of breathing room in a crowded conference field, falling to UT Arlington (14-7, 6-3 WAC) in four sets (13-25, 25-19, 25-27, 25-23).
"We can't seem to get out of our own way," said Head Coach Mike Jordan. "We score our points and we score the other team's points. It's frustrating to have so many wildly inconsistent players but we have a lot brand new faces and inexperienced players.
