The New Mexico women’s tennis team earned their first victory of the season by defeating The University of Colorado on Friday night. Kelcy McKenna’s tenure as head coach began with a victory as UNM defeated Colorado 5-2. She took over the team this past July and seemed to have the Lobos ready for spring competition. “What a great match. Colorado fought the whole time,” she said. “I was really proud of our girls and the way they competed from start to finish today.”

Column: Davie's contract extension well-deserved

Thomas Romero-Salas | January 19

It took Bob Davie four long years to turn the New Mexico football program into a winning one. And less than a month after leading the Lobos to their first bowl appearance in almost a decade, Davie was rewarded with a well-deserved two-year contract extension last week. Davie is now signed up to be the head coach for the Lobos until 2021 and will receive a $50,000 raise. The move is a smart one for New Mexico Vice President for Athletics Paul Krebs. Since his hire Davie has managed to pull UNM out of the doldrums of college football, reviving a program that many thought couldn’t be saved.
