Cowgirls head to Alamosa to take on Adams State on Tuesday

LAS VEGAS, N.M. --- The New Mexico Highlands volleyball team attempts to stay in the RMAC postseason hunt as the Cowgirls travel to take on Adams State 7 p.m. Tuesday at Plachy Hall.

Adams State is a game ahead of the Cowgirls as this contest gives them a chance to tie with the Grizzlies in the standings and split the season series (NMHU lost at home to Adams State in five earlier this season).
