The UNM women’s soccer team will be looking to get its first win of the season this weekend as it continues on a five-game road trip to open the season.
After starting the season 0-1-1, the Lobos will try for their first win under first-year head coach Kit Vela when they travel to Arizona to battle the University of Arizona Friday and Arizona State University Saturday.
When UNM and the Arizona Wildcats (0-1) play, the Lobos will be trying to get revenge for a heartbreaking loss last season. The Lobos lost 3-2 in overtime at home to the Wildcats.
The Lobos will probably have a much tougher fight against the18th-ranked Sundevils. ASU is 2-0 on the season and have outscored its opponents by a 9-0 advantage. The Sundevils will be the first of five teams the Lobos play who made it to the NCAA Tournament last season.

Friday the Lobos take on the San Diego Torros in the Torros first game of the season. UNM is 0-3-1 all-time versus San Diego.
Saturday the Lobos and Vanderbilt Commodores will play. The Commodores are 1-1 on the season.
