The University of New Mexico volleyball team has shown an ability to play from behind this season.
Coach Jon Newman-Gonchar wants to see a different approach.
The Lobos spent most of Saturday afternoon playing from behind against perennial Mountain West power Colorado State and never quite caught up. The Rams (11-4, 4-0) fought off one UNM comeback after another and escaped raucous Johnson Center with a 3-1 victory. The set scores were 25-23, 26-24, 19-25, 25-18.
New Mexico (10-4, 1-3) gave an announced crowd of 1,222 plenty to cheer about, battling despite a significant height disadvantage and the absence of starting setter Anilee Sher for a second straight match.
