Men’s Soccer
After a scoreless first spring outing last week, the New Mexico men blanked Denver University in its second exhibition game with a 3-0 win in Taos.
All three goals came in the second half, the first in the 49th minute from James Rogers off a Christopher Wehan assist. Rene Reyes scored the Lobos’ second goal, his first in a UNM uniform, at the 66th minute with a Niko Hansen assist. Josh Goss added one more goal with eight seconds on the clock from an Oniel Fisher assist.
UNM goalkeeper James Schneebeck made one save in his first career appearance.
“The guys brought a lot of energy and got some nice individual goals,” head coach Jeremy Fishbein said. “Collectively, I thought our defense, pressure and communication were really strong. We are continuing to work on getting better every week, and now we are excited for our next match at home.”
That next match takes place this Saturday at the Robertson Practice Fields, located next to the UNM Soccer Complex, when the Lobos host Air Force at 10:30 a.m..
On Saturday, the team announced Fishbein earned a two-year extension on his contract, keeping him at UNM through the 2019 season. Fishbein, the program’s winningest coach, led the Lobos to their second-straight College Cup semifinals this past season.
Fishbein’s previous contract states that the coach makes $106,900 in base salary.
