Belated goal ends fight for win

The UNM women’s soccer team scored late, but still beat the Sooners on Friday. The game looked to be headed to overtime after Oklahoma’s Dria Hampton tied the game with 10 minutes left, but Lobo forward Jennifer Williams scored her second goal of the game with five minutes remaining to beat the Sooners 2-1. “We fought the whole entire game,” Williams said.

A winning record in reach

The UNM women’s soccer team takes on Oklahoma tonight as both teams look to establish a winning record. The Lobos are currently 4-4-2 while the Sooners are 5-5. The “Stuff the Stadium” game on Friday will be the Lobos’ third straight home game, after playing five straight games on the road. Junior Natalie Jenks said the team has been practicing well this week and expects the team to come out with a victory. “We’re pretty excited about it,” she said.

Freshman shines while team loses

Deon Long is one of the only bright spots on this season’s UNM football team. Through three games of the 2011 season, wide receiver Long has made an impact on the team by being its most potent offensive player. The freshman has accumulated more than half of the Lobos’ total offense through the first part of the season, with 496 all-purpose yards.

Newcomers get playing time

The UNM men’s tennis team hasn’t won the Mountain West Conference since 2009, but the team’s goal each season is to win the conference and go on to conquer even greater feats.

Little mistakes add to large loss

Not even the weather stopped Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege. In a game hampered by two lightning delays, Doege helped to defeat the Lobos 59-13 on Saturday at University Stadium, setting a new NCAA completion percentage record. Doege threw for 401 yards and five touchdowns and completed 40 out of 44 passes.

Water polo club paddles past costs, obscurity

The UNM men’s water polo team is relatively unknown on campus, but it has made real strides in the past two seasons in the Rocky Mountain Conference (RMC). “It’s been a slow buildup over the past couple years, but since last season we have picked up a lot of momentum from our coach and having committed players,” senior Bryant Shuey said.

Tied game decided by last-minute goal

UNM senior Roxie McFarland lined up to take what might have been the Lobos’ last chance to win the game. With the scores tied at one on Sunday, UC Riverside gave up a foul just outside of the penalty box with a little over a minute remaining.

Boxing bout foul robs fans

The one word I can use to sum up a sporting event I watched on Saturday: disappointing, and I am not talking about the UNM football team’s lost to Texas Tech. I’m referring to the highly anticipated fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Defense key to stop Texas Tech

It hasn’t been an easy two weeks for the UNM football team. Last week the Lobos played No. 13 Arkansas, and this weekend they will play Big 12 powerhouse Texas Tech at University Stadium. The Red Raiders are coming off a 50-10 win over Texas State.

Goalie aids winning streak

The UNM men’s soccer team has only allowed two goals this season — but there could have been nine more if it wasn’t for Victor Rodriguez. Rodriguez’s efforts have helped the Lobos earn a 4-0-1 record through the first five games of the season.

3-game sweep signals comeback

The UNM volleyball team is finally over the tournament hump. The Lobos won their first tournament of the season at the Comcast/Sheraton Lobo Invitational over the weekend, going 3-0 against UC Irvine, Portland State and Montreal. In two previous tournaments the Lobos had failed to finish first, but head coach Jeff Nelson said everything came together this time around.

Breaking the slow start habit

For the UNM volleyball team, the third time will hopefully be the charm. After losses in the championship matches against Nebraska and Northern Arizona University (NAU) in each of the team’s first two tournaments, the Lobos host the Comcast/Sheraton Lobo Invitational this weekend as they try to win their first tournament of the season.

The Lobo football team is going to have the biggest challenge of its early season this weekend. UNM travels to Little Rock, Ark., on Saturday to take on No. 14 Arkansas Razorbacks. “Our team is excited about having a chance to play a team like Arkansas,” head coach Mike Locksley said. “We expect it to be hot, we expect it to be humid and we expect a great atmosphere for football.”
