Despite initially taking the first two sets, the Aggies were unable to maintain their lead as the Hornets came back to win three straight sets. This marks the second consecutive match where NM State held a late lead but ultimately fell short. The team now sits two matches below .500 for the season.
Darian Markham led the team in digs, recording a season-high of 31 digs. Mari Sharp achieved a double-double with 12 kills and 15 digs, while Nicole Briggs tied her career-high with eight kills.
