UNM lost a pair of two-game series last weekend, falling at UNLV and at No. 19 San Diego State.
The Lobos lost each contest by three runs or less and couldn't muster enough offense to pull out a victory.
UNLV won the first game of Friday's doubleheader, 6-3. Lobo pitcher Kelly Ninemire lost the decision after giving up six runs in six innings.
UNM held the lead for much of Friday's second game, but UNLV's Laure Briones hit a grand slam in the sixth inning to lead the Rebels to victory.
The Lobos took on San Diego State on Saturday, falling 2-1. UNM pitcher Madelyn Machac pitched a solid game, giving up just two runs in six innings. However, the Lobos couldn't put together offense off Aztec starter Christina Ross, who threw a complete game.

Ninemire took the loss despite allowing just one run on three hits in six innings.
