"Offensively we were too tough for them," Head Coach Mike Jordan said. "We have to get better defensively, working on blocking and digging will only help us to continue to improve in the WAC."
The Aggies are now 8-7 in their season, 2-0 in the WAC and look forward to taking on nationally ranked Hawai'i, Wednesday, Sept. 29 at the Pan American Center beginning at 7p.m.
