The UNM softball team kicks off a nine-game home stand this weekend when it welcomes Colorado State University to Lobo Field after playing 37 of its first 41 games on the road. The Lobos have been road warriors so far this season with a schedule that looks more like that of a 1920s barnstorming team than a college ball club.
The UNM baseball team finished off a three-game sweep of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi with a 22-6 victory Sunday afternoon at Lobo Field. The Lobos were led by the hot hitting of senior shortstop Dusty Young who went 4-5 from the plate including three doubles, six RBIs and two runs scored.

by Todd Burns Daily Lobo The UNM and the University of Texas-El Paso track teams squared off in a meet in El Paso last weekend. It was the first outdoor track meet of the season for the Lobos and resulted in many great performances.

The UNM women’s basketball team took a bitter 71-48 defeat at the hands of Texas Tech University Saturday, ending the Lobos’ sweet run through the NCAA Tournament.

The UNM baseball team will take a break from conference action this weekend when it plays host to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi for a three-game series.

Women Three days of steady climbing up the leaderboard earned the UNM women's golf team a tie for third place at the Pioneer Electronics UCLA Bruin Classic March 24-26 in Santa Clara, Calif. With rounds of 306-307-304-917, the Lobos finished 53 over-par and tied with Texas Tech University at the 6,254 yard, par-72 Robinson Ranch Valley Course.
These days when people think of the Lobos they envision fiesty sophomore point guard Mandi Moore or the offensive grace and defensive dominance of Jordan Adams, or maybe they think of forward Chelsea Grear, who is always tearing down offensive rebounds over bigger opponents.

If you look at the box score from the UNM women's basketball team's victory over Mississippi State University, you won't find much mention of Tiffany Scaglione, Cristal Garcia or The Pit. What they bring to the table isn't measured by statistics. The two players and one arena scored two points, two points and zero points respectively.
While most UNM students were catching up on much needed rest or just partying until the break of dawn this spring break, the Lobo women's basketball team was very busy. UNM clinched an automatic birth to NCAA tournament with its three-game sweep of the Mountain West Conference Tournament.

For the second straight outing, the UNM men's golf team struggled against a strong field -- this time at the Morris Williams Intercollegiate in Austin, Texas, March 16-17.

Lobos win 2 against Utes The Lobo baseball team went 2-3 over spring break, dropping two games No. 20 Arizona and winning two of a three-game series with the Utah Utes. Shortstop Dusty Young continued his hot hitting, extending his hitting streak to 26 games.

For a moment late Saturday night, UNM's Mandi Moore looked forlorn. Sitting on the dais at The Pit's interview room after the Lobos' 91-85 overtime victory over the University of Miami, a look of pain passed over the sophomore point guard's face as teammate Chelsea Grear talked about the first half of the game.
