The 2010-11 UNM men’s basketball schedule was released last week.

Shutout victories set winning tone

Nathan Farmer | August 23

The UNM women’s soccer team started off the 2010 season in fine fashion. After demolishing Montana 7-0 on Friday, the Lobos continued with a convincing 3-0 win against Nebraska on Sunday at the UNM Soccer Complex. “These past two games — we have been very good at putting away our chances against some good teams,” head coach Kit Vela said. The Lobos followed up their Friday shutout victory Sunday against Nebraska with good composure in front of the goal. The first half against Nebraska was evenly matched, with both teams feeling each other out, until forward Stephanie Rowe chipped the keeper from 20 yards in the 39th minute. Midfielder Rachel Fields gave the Lobos some insurance in the 64th minute by scoring from inside the box, before Jennifer Williams scored the third goal of the game.

Retooled team faces unrelenting schedule

Ryan Tomari | August 16

It’s really not what any Lobo fan wants to hear: a beefed-up schedule with lots of young talent. That is the outlook for Jeff Nelson and the 2010 UNM volleyball team. Nelson, the third-year head coach at UNM, has his Lobos embarking on probably their toughest task to date. The Lobos have seven freshmen on the roster: Mariah Agre, Chantale Riddle, Lexi Ross, Juliane Hanna, Carli Torr, Ashley Newman and Miquella Lovato.

FDA probe could lead to another fallen hero

Isaac Avilucea | July 26

Jumbled in the labyrinth of litigation, among the supposed exposés, and building and falling evidence of admissions and retractions, is the proverbial, high-stakes, good-guys-bad-guys game, one that will be viewed through discriminatory lenses depending on what side of the chicken wire you’re on.

Ryan Tomari | July 26

Consumerism corrupts boxing

Isaac Avilucea | July 19

There’s no defending the conspired commercial ploy, a down-and-dirty business deal crafted among promoters, boxers and television enablers. Gone are the golden days when boxing, much like art, was viewed for its aesthetic value, for its controlled violence and the bonding emotional effect it had on its viewers.
