New Mexico men’s golf will tee off at home in the first and only regular season home tournament today. The William H. Tucker Intercollegiate event will take place Friday and Saturday at the University of New Mexico Championship Golf Course. The team has a different look after losing four seniors. While UNM might have lost a lot of leadership, the expectations remain high. The latest rankings had the lobos ranked 23rd in the country.

Millican said he believes the players have strengths that will allow them to compete against any field.
For the first time, UNM is engaging freshmen in research projects traditionally reserved for upperclassmen through the First Year Research Experience program.

No more Big Ten, ACC, Pac-12 and Big 12 teams. The New Mexico women’s soccer team can now turn its attention to the Mountain West. The Lobos (2-5) open MW play this weekend with a road trip to Utah State and Boise State after completing a schedule that includes programs from the top collegiate athletic conferences. All five UNM losses came against the so-called Power Five conferences, and three of those outings could have been Lobo victories. The losses to Texas Tech, Minnesota and Michigan State all came by 1-0 decisions, and head coach Heather Dyche’s squad actually outshot Big Ten’s Golden Gophers and Spartans two weeks ago.

The free online dictionary defines a semicolon as “a mark of punctuation used to indicate a major division in a sentence.” For many, however, the semicolon is a symbol that means much more than punctuation. The third annual Semicolon Tattoo Project will be held at local tattoo shops this Saturday as a fundraiser for the Agora Crisis Center. The project originated as a social media movement in 2013 for which people drew semicolons on their bodies and posted pictures of them to show support for those whose lives have been touched by mental illness and its effects.

Aaron Williamson said.

After a bitter ending to the Days Inn and Suites Lobo Invitational, New Mexico heads into conference play with a chip on its shoulder. In front of 3,267 fans -- the 13th largest crowd in program history -- the New Mexico volleyball team recorded a heartbreaking 3-2 loss to LSU at WisePies Arena on Saturday. However, middle blocker Skye Gullatt said her squad is ready to put the nonconference schedule on the back burner and take the Mountain West by storm.
“It’s been fast and furious so far,” said UNM men’s soccer head coach Jeremy Fishbein. The Lobos, who moved up to seventh in the polls this week, began the 2015 season with a loss against the then-ranked No. 1 UCLA Bruins.

A UNM professor has been nominated as Fulbright Visiting Research Chair in Water and the Environment at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada.

For the first time under head coach Bob Davie, New Mexico is having an identity crisis on offense. With the offensive line in a state of flux since the beginning of the season, and quarterback play being passable at best, UNM hasn’t been able to establish its triple-option offense. Instead, the Lobos have tried to throw more passes than they’re comfortable with, and the results haven’t been positive.
