The win improved Wyoming to 3-0 on the season. The same two teams will meet again this afternoon in Laramie.
The Cowgirls controlled every aspect of the match, out-hitting the Lobos .378 to .-075. Wyoming also had seven service aces to the Lobos’ three and had a 9-2 advantage in blocks on the night.
“I think we were a little over-excited in the beginning, but I think we settled in eventually,” said Head Coach Chad Callihan postgame. “First home match in over a calendar year, we’ll take it.”
