It was incredibly electric in the Pan Am. The stats say there were 1941 people there but, at some point, Jack Nixon announced 2300 and change in attendance. We tailgaters - now humbly called the "Volleyball Fan-atics" thanks to our new banner, sat in our usual seats which just happened to be in front of the Lobo fans. That's the reason why I have no voice this morning. You can't help but get up and scream your head off - especially when you see Coach Jordan turning around and urging us to get out of our seats.
I knew, going into this game, that it wouldn't be like NMSU/UNM games of the past. Like I said in yesterday's post, UNM's new coach, Jeff Nelson, knows what he's doing. It showed in the Lobo's last night.
It was past intense. I turned to one of my friends last night after the first few points in the first game and said, "Wow. This is gonna be long night."
It was a battle that went to 3-1 and the Lady Aggies secured 1.5 points in the Rio Grande Rivalry Cup.
Lindsey Yon had 28 kills- which either broke or tied a school record held by Maria Roth.
Alyssa Gintant also stepped up with 13 kills and 47 assists.
Kim Oguh had 13 kills, Amber Simpson - named the MVP of the game - had 15 kills and had a hit percentage of .464. Krystal Torres had 20 digs.
It was a great night to be an Aggie fan!

Up next - off to the Midwest. I'm very excited to be able to go to this tournament. I'll be updating as I can.
