Walking across campus with a backpack full of heavy textbooks can be exhausting after a long day of classes. An Indiana University study from 2013 found that college-aged women who reported back and shoulder pain had backpacks that, on average, weighed between 15 and 20 pounds. For the first female soldiers ever going through Army Ranger School at Fort Benning, Georgia, however, walking around with a backpack weighing upwards of 50 pounds is just part of the daily grind.
Head Coach Heather Dyche called Friday’s overtime loss particularly hard because it had been the best New Mexico has played this year. The Lobos made sure on Sunday that their best resulted in a win. UNM’s offense clicked into a gear not seen since the Sept. 3 Idaho State game, scoring three first-half goals en route to a 5-1 victory over Fresno State at the UNM Soccer Complex. The game saw the most Lobo goals scored this season, and the most they’ve had since netting four against the Bengals during nonconference play.

Head Coach Jeff Nelson’s newly added zone blocking scheme has rejuvenated New Mexico’s defensive muscle, translating to a jumpstart in the Lobos’ offense.

If anyone is questioning the No. 1 ranking of the New Mexico women’s cross country team, they are still searching for reasonable doubt. The UNM women’s cross country team not only took first place at the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational on Friday, but it dominated the field in the six-kilometer race and won by 156 points. The Lobo men, meanwhile, finished in 23rd place.
Past: The most obviously biased of hate crimes got a deceptive response by Republican legislators: “All crimes are hate crimes.” Present: Fervent pleas that Black Lives Matter are met with an arrogantly dismissive rejoinder by Republicans: “All lives matter.”
I’ve seen the whole Rocky series at least 15 times, “Rocky IV” at least 70. Rocky embodies dedication, commitment, drive and tenacity. My whole life my mother taught me that success takes work, but it’s attainable. Heck, if it could happen for a southpaw from Philadelphia it could happen for me, right? Well, here’s hoping. School can be hard. Eating full meals at reasonable times can be hard. Life can be a challenge. But that doesn’t mean success is impossible, and it doesn’t mean that the difficulties to reach the goal line aren’t worth it.
Southwest stories have always intrigued Rudolfo Anaya, which is why the famous writer’s annual lecture will feature fiction writer and food columnist Anne Hillerman for this year’s iteration.

The Lobos kept grinding and finally got their reward. After losing its first three Conference USA matches this season, the UNM men’s soccer team (7-4-2, 1-3-0 C-USA) got a much-needed “w” in a 3-2 home victory over the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Sunday night.
