The Lobos (5-19, 3-11 in the conference) defeated the University of Wyoming Friday in a five-game match to record its second road victory of the season, but lost to sixth-ranked Colorado State University Saturday in three straight sets.
UNM played a hard-fought match versus Wyoming, getting the victory by narrowly winning the fifth and deciding game 16-14. The Lobos split the first four games 30-24, 23-30, 30-27 and 19-30.
Senior Malena Thompson and junior Kelly Griffin led the way for the Lobos. Thompson recorded 22 kills and 14 digs to collect her sixth double-double of the season and Griffin contributed 58 assists and a career-high 21 digs to earn her eighth double-double of the season.
The Lobos are the seventh-seed in the conference tournament and will play against second-seeded University of Utah next week. The Utes beat UNM in both meetings earlier this season.
