The New Mexico Military Institute Bronco volleyball team lost their first-round match in the NJCAA National Championships to eighth-seeded Hillborough Community College in a five-set heartbreaker.

The No. 9 Broncos won the first set 25-19, but then let the Hawks take sets two and three with scores just as close: 20-25 and 18-25.

NMMI rallied back to force a fifth set with a 25-20 win in the fourth, but fell five points shy in the final, 15-10.

With the loss, NMMI drops down to the consolation bracket. They will face Monroe College at 12:00 PM CST on Friday. The No. 16 Mustangs lost to top-seeded Navarro in four sets in their nationals opener.
