Beginning tonight, the UNM Women’s Volleyball team returns to the friendly confines of home…well, almost. They will be playing at “The Pit” (Wise Pies Arena) for the Days Inn & Suites Lobo Invitational and will be hosting Cal State Northridge, LIU Brooklyn, and LSU. The Lobo volleyball team currently owns a 5-4 record but have played an incredibly challenging non-conference schedule. Last weekend, that challenge included a hard fought three set loss to the nation’s third-ranked Southern California Women of Troy (USC). While UNM will bring the best record of all four teams into the tournament this weekend, the three other schools that they are hosting have also all played more than one ranked opponent, so this weekend of volleyball should be highly competitive as all four teams want to improve on the results that they have had thus far.
