Down doesn’t mean done for the UNM women’s golf team.

Spread offense gone wild

The Cherry-Silver game on Saturday will resemble a scene out of a Marvel comic book. That’s because the UNM football team has “Flash” and the Scarlett Speedster.

Home not so sweet for these seniors

Ten years from now, the outcome of Sunday’s match won’t matter to Ashley Bonner and Anya Villanueva; the memories will. The UNM women’s tennis team fell 6-1 to UNLV on Sunday during the two seniors’ final home match at the Linda Estes Tennis Complex. No matter Sunday’s outcome, head coach Roy Canada said Bonner and Villanueva have kept the team strong through ups and downs throughout their four-year careers. “They will be leaving a good legacy,” he said.
