MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — The Middle Tennessee volleyball team defeated New Mexico State 3-0 Friday night at the Alumni Memorial Gym.
MTSU (15-6, 6-3 Conference USA) have won seven-consecutive at the AMG and remain undefeated in CUSA play at home. The loss snapped a three-match winning streak for the Aggies (11-11, 4-5).
Friday night's win was the 350th NCAA (Division I, II and III) win of head coach Alexa Keckler's career. Keckler improved to 26-23 at Middle Tennessee.
"I'm so impressed with the fight and togetherness we showed tonight," Keckler said. "This team played with heart and passion and were completely fearless.
"Danit Cohen did an amazing job running the offense this evening and Sophia Henry came to play."
Cohen picked up her second start of the season, setting in all three sets for MTSU. Cohen posted her second-highest marks of the season in digs (9) and assists (27), coming just-short of a double-double.
As has been the case in a majority of contests this season, Henry led the Blue Raiders in kills with 18 on the night. Jaslyn Reed followed with 12 kills.
Michaela Dlouhá had another solid day defensively, posting seven blocks in the contest.
Marianne Garcia led MTSU with 19 digs.
Middle Tennessee got off the blocks quickly, winning the first set 25-22. Henry got the decisive kill in the set.
MTSU kept its foot on the gas pedal in the second set, winning 25-20 to go up 2-0 in the match. A Kendall Mignerey ace was the decisive point.
The closest set of the night proved to be the final one as the Aggies forced set-point at the 24-22 mark. However, the Blue Raiders fought back to a tie at 24-24.
Middle Tennessee finally broke the deadlock at the 27th and 28th points of the set, taking the victory on a Reed kill and New Mexico State attacking error.

--MTSU improves to 2-10 all-time versus New Mexico State.
--The Blue Raiders seven-match win streak at the AMG is the team's longest home winning streak since 2024.
