Men’s soccer
The New Mexico men’s soccer team lost 1-0 at Kentucky on Saturday night.
Wildcat forward Justin Laird scored the only goal of the game in the 31st minute with a volley from 10 yards out over the defense, according to golobos.com.
The Lobos had several chances in the second half to tie the game as they took 11 shots, forcing Kentucky’s Callum Irving to make three saves. UNM didn’t have a shot in the first half.
“It’s pretty disappointing,” head coach Jeremy Fishbein said. “Not so much in the loss but in that we didn’t play a full 90-minute game. Kentucky was really comfortable defending. We expect a lot more out of ourselves as a team.”
UNM is now 9-3-1 (2-2 Conference USA) on the year.
