The UNM women's soccer team looks to continue its winning ways in the Mountain West Conference when it hits the road for two games this weekend.
The Lobos (2-8-2, 1-0-1 in the Mountain West) started conference play with a win and a tie last weekend. They now face Brigham Young University Friday and the University of Utah Sunday, two teams the Lobos have never beaten on the road.
The Cougars (8-4-1, 2-0) are in first place in the conference and the three-time conference champions have won 10 straight conference games. The Cougars lead the conference in almost every category, including goals scored with 27 and the fewest goals allowed with an average of 1.08 per game.
Utah is 4-0 at home this season and is second in the conference in goals scored with 26.
