Men’s soccer
Freshman Nick Rochowksi scored the game-winning goal Sunday in Washington, D.C., to lead the ninth-ranked New Mexico men past Georgetown.
The Lobos and No. 11 Hoyas battled through a scoreless regulation game that forced an overtime session. At the 103-minute mark, Rochowksi fired the ball at the net off a rebound after Georgetown goalie Tomas Gomez saved a shot by UNM senior James Rogers.
The win came two days after UNM settled for a 1-all tie with Virginia Commonwealth in Richmond, Va. Rogers had the goal against the Rams off a James Wypych assist. The Lobos are now 2-0-1 on the season.
