Portland breaks hearts again
Nathan Farmer | September 13It was better late than never for the visiting Portland Pilots on Sunday at the UNM Soccer Complex.

In home opener, key is defensive discipline
Ryan Tomari | September 10Guns up! But for a moment, forget the Red Raiders. While the UNM football team hosts Texas Tech Saturday at University Stadium in its 2010 home opener, the real question lingers: How will the Lobos respond to that 72-0 pounding in Oregon, in which the Ducks racked up 720 yards? Simply put, head coach Mike Locksley said the missing an ingredient is discipline.? “For us right now, it’s playing with the discipline that we need to play with as a team,” Locksley said.
