Silver City,NM— The Cowgirls are playing their final road game in Silver City against instate rival Western New Mexico looking for payback from when the two teams faced off in September.

Set one got too a hot start as both teams were doing an amazing job on the attacking end after a while the attacking errors began to pile up for both squads however the both teams were keeping it close giving either team any room to breathe.  The Cowgirls however eventually found breathing room and took a five point lead to make it and took set one.

Set two the Mustangs took the early lead and for a majority of the set it seemed as if the set was going to be one who made the less mistakes. In this set the Mustangs were the team who made the least amount of mistakes. They grew the lead early and capitalized on the Cowgirls mistakes and took the lead late and captured set two to tie the match at 1-1.

Set three was back and forth even if the Cowgirls or Mustangs jumped out to a lead the trailer would catch up and turn the set into a dog fight. It was a dog fight to the very end and the Mustangs took set three and were one set away from capturing the match.

The Cowgirls had their back against the walls. The Mustangs however jumped out to an early lead applying more pressure to the Cowgirls. The Cowgirls however battled within the set to stay alive. However, the Mustangs gained a little momentum and used that momentum to take the lead on the set and used that to push through and steal the set and the match.

Ava Kincaid led the Cowgirls in kills with nine followed by Elise Fourt with eight. Caitlin Hurley and Marissa Sandoval-Moya each had two service aces.
