1/2 🧵 Talk about competitive composure: After dropping set 3, @NMStateVBall fought back to take sets 4 and 5 on the road against a 15-win MTSU squad. Mike Jordan praised Lilli Saldivar’s serve run in the 4th that sparked an 8-4 closing push. Clutch execution. 🏐👏 #NMState

2/2 That road toughness carries over to Wednesday when @NMStateFootball hosts Jax State at Aggie Memorial. The formula: unleash James Jones (#2) behind an O-line that churned out 203 rush yards in Huntsville, and keep Jax State off schedule. Wednesday. Be there! 🤠🏈 #AggieUp

ROAD GRIT! 🏐🔥 @NMStateVBall outlasts Middle Tennessee in a 5-set thriller (25-21, 23-25, 16-25, 25-21, 15-13)! Maggie Lightheart led the way with 15 kills (including the match-winner) & Saldivar dropped 4 aces in set 4. Aggies move to 5-5 in CUSA! 🤠🔴⚪ #AggieUp #NMState

From Las Cruces to the World Series dugout. ⚾️💍 Former @NMStateBaseball alumnus Ron Porterfield has spent 35+ years shaping MLB player health, serving as Head Trainer for the Rays & now Director of Player Health for the @Dodgers. #NMState #AggieUp

1/2 🧵 Film confirmation from Huntsville: NM State's offensive identity is firmly rooted in gap-scheme power. James Jones (#2) racked up 112 of his 178 yards after contact. When the O-line gets a hat on safety run fits, 5+ yard gains follow consistently. 🏈💨 #NMState

2/2 The challenge Wednesday vs. Jax State? Tempo. Rich Rodriguez's offense snaps the ball every 19-21 seconds. Controlling possession with #2 and forcing long fields is how the Aggies dictate terms at Aggie Memorial. Who's going to the game Wednesday? 🤠👇 #AggieUp #NMState

Zero days off for @NMStateWSOC. ⚽ Fresh off Thursday's 1-0 shutout at MTSU (Emma O'Neill GWG, Lafortune 6 saves), the Aggies head to Bowling Green for Sunday's clash at WKU (12 PM MT). Another 3 points would put NM State in prime CUSA playoff position! 🔴⚪ #NMState #AggieUp

1/2 🧵 Talk about road grit: @NMStateWSOC picked up their first CUSA road dub with a 1-0 shutout at MTSU. Head coach Rob Baarts postgame: "We have been improving every week... we are peaking at the right time!" Lafortune's 6 saves anchored a stout backline. ⚽🧱 #NMState

2/2 Between football taking down Sam Houston (30-24) and soccer winning in Tennessee, the Aggies are stacking October road dubs. Can @NMStateVBall keep the streak alive tonight against a tough 14-4 MTSU squad? Set 1 starts at 5 PM MT. 🤠🏐 #AggieUp #NMState

At 2-1 in CUSA, the Aggies control their destiny heading into a midweek home clash vs Jacksonville State next Wednesday. Takeaways in 22 of 23 games and an explosive ground attack traveling well. What was your biggest takeaway from Huntsville? 🤠👇 #AggieUp @NMStateFootball

James Jones put the offense on his back in Huntsville. 😤 27 carries, 178 rushing yards (6.6 YPC), 1 TD, and officially surpassed 2,000 career D1 rushing yards. When #2 is punishing linebackers between the tackles, this team has an identity. 💨🏈 @NMStateFootball #AggieUp
