SPARTANS LOOK TO GET BACK ON WINNING TRACK: The schedule turns a little different this week for the San José State volleyball team as the team plays matches on different days and splits time on the road and at home. The Spartans host Nevada on Tuesday, before traveling to Fresno State for Thursday's match and do not play on Saturday.
San José State heads into the contest with Nevada looking to stop a three-match losing streak after falling twice at home last week - 3-2 to Wyoming last Thursday and 3-1 to Colorado State on Saturday. The Spartans are tied for fifth in the Mountain West standings with Boise State and Fresno State at 3-3. New Mexico, UNLV and Colorado State sit atop the standings at 5-1.
