Team effort takes down Rebels for easy sweep

The UNM volleyball team tallied its sixth win in seven matches last Friday. The Lobos, 10-6 overall and 2-1 in Mountain West Conference action, blazed past UNLV in a three-set sweep at Johnson Center.

Lobos swept the Falcons

Housed. The UNM volleyball team cruised Thursday with a 3-0 win over Air Force in Mountain West Conference volleyball action. After being away from Johnson Center the past two weeks, the Lobos swept the Falcons in three sets for their first MWC win of the season. The Lobos dropped a 3-0 decision at San Diego State in their conference opener last week. Head coach Jeff Nelson said it was pleasant to see UNM return to its winning ways. “We knew (the Falcons) were going to come out hard and put up a fight,” he said.

Will hometown hurt finally subside?

Welcome home, Lobos. Yet the only thing hitting close to home on south campus after four losses is wondering if the UNM football team will regroup against powerful UTEP (3-1) on Saturday. The Lobos, who have been beaten by a combined average of 56.3 points, hope to round out UNM’s Homecoming week with their first win. Lobo head coach Mike Locksley said it’s another opportunity for his young team to grow. “Every week we have shown some sparks of success,” he said.

Realigned conference still a rigorous road

If the UNM men’s soccer team took one small step with its nonconference schedule this season, its making one giant leap to reclaim what the Lobos rightfully owned for four years: the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation title. The MPSF restructured the league into two four-team divisions, but that doesn’t matter to the Lobos.

Player suffers horrific injury

The UNM men’s soccer team suffered a cataclysmic knock Saturday. Senior defender and midfielder Ryan Farquharson suffered a season-ending injury in the Lobos’ 1-0 loss to Dartmouth in Hanover, N.H. Farquharson broke his right leg, putting a damper on his Lobo career. Head coach Jeremy Fishbein said it was a disturbing sight. “(He) snapped his leg in two,” Fishbein said.

One small step to victory

One is — not the loneliest — but the winning number. The UNM men’s golf team won its first tournament since spring 2009 on Tuesday, with a one-stroke victory over Colorado State in the inaugural 2010 Mark Simpson Colorado Invitational in Erie, Colo.

Promising start ends in bleak finish

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — The UNM football team’s season is quickly winding down a road that wasn’t envisioned. In a battle of winless teams on Saturday, UNLV destroyed the Lobos 45-10 at Sam Boyd Stadium. “I thought it was a game that we came out with and started off with good energy,” UNM head coach Mike Locksley said.

Coach brings passion, humility

Grant Harvey Sr. isn’t your typical coach. In fact, he doesn’t even consider himself the UNM ice hockey team’s head coach. “Well, here is the thing, and let’s get this established,” he said.

A Name for Itself

Hockey isn’t exactly the biggest sport in the United States, especially not in lake-free New Mexico. But the UNM ice hockey team would gladly check that perception right into the boards and prove to everyone in the Land of Enchantment that Lobo hockey is worth watching. The fast-paced, hard-hitting game means everything to the 23-man Lobo roster, and it has had paramount success despite its obscurity. Or you could go further and say that to this squad, it’s actually a way of life for UNM undergraduate and graduate students. “A club team is one that you have students that want to play a certain sport,” head coach Grant Harvey Sr.

Defense rests case following loss No. 4

They are who we thought they were. Presented with mounting, incriminating evidence that the UNM football team is unspeakably bad, most level-headed fans held out judgment on the Lobos. That was the kind, gentle thing to do, considering they played nationally ranked teams Oregon and Utah and a formidable Texas Tech squad.

Winless Lobos try their luck in Las Vegas

The unspoken sense surrounding UNM football is that this week’s game is a little more “winnable.” The Lobos will embark on their second road trip of the season against almost identical foe UNLV (0-3). “We are going to play a team that is very similar to ours,” head coach Mike Locksley said.

The football team is winless, but students are still showing up to support the team. Mark Koson, director UNM ticketing services, said 3,419 student tickets were distributed for the Texas Tech game last week. He said 12,270 season tickets have been sold this season, a decline from the 15,054 sold last year.

Utes bid MWC farewell in ABQ

Here’s to Mountain West Conference nostalgia. Utah, the No. 14 ranked team in the country, makes its final appearance in University Stadium as MWC members. Aside from the fact that it could be years before Utah football returns to Albuquerque, UNM looks to amend its dismal play during the first two weeks of the season. Head coach Mike Locksley said the special teams unit will undergo several personnel changes. “We tried to give some young guys and guys that haven’t played a lot of opportunities to create a role for themselves on this team,” he said.

Locksley: It's not 'discipline,' it's 'playing smart'

He is just a little bit misunderstood — that’s all. UNM head football coach Mike Locksley stressed discipline within his program, after the Lobos (0-2) fell to Texas Tech 52-17 on Saturday. At his weekly news conference Tuesday, Locksley said discipline isn’t necessarily the right word. “First of all, I think in football terms, when you talk about ‘discipline,’ sometimes that’s misconstrued,” Locksley said.

Portland breaks hearts again

It was better late than never for the visiting Portland Pilots on Sunday at the UNM Soccer Complex. Portland, which defeated the UNM men’s soccer team in the first round of the NCAA Tournament last season, lifted themselves past the Lobos 2-1 again after a late goal by defender Ryan Kawulok. The Pilots scored in the 89th minute with only their third shot on the goal. “It’s a game where you need to take care of your chances.
