The Albuquerque Isotopes are almost ready to play ball and kick off the 2019 season against the Salt Lake Bees on Thursday, April 4 at 6:35 p.m.  The team returns familiar faces such as 2018 Pacific Coast League MVP Josh Fuentes as well as top prospects Brendan Rodgers and Peter Lambert. A trio of the longest tenured 'Topes, Jordan Patterson (368 games), Mike Tauchman (351) and Tom Murphy (215) will not return after moving on to new organizations during the offseason.  10 players on the opening day roster will make their Triple-A debuts, a group that is headlined by Sam Hilliard, an outfielder who is listed as the No. 10 prospect in the Rockies Organization according to MLB Pipeline.

Baseball: Lobos win after dramatic comeback

Matthew Narvaiz | April 4

It looked as though it was going to be Texas Tech baseball's day for the second game in a row over the Lobos, on UNM’s home field early Wednesday afternoon.  But after going down 8-2 to the Red Raiders, who put together a six-run inning in the third, a mix of relief pitching and timely hitting helped the Lobos make the improbable comeback, as they went on to win 12-9 and split the series against the 11th best team in the nation. But UNM (15-14) didn’t shy away from Texas Tech’s (19-8) large lead and was able to put up a run each in the first and second innings. The Lobos big break came in the bottom of the fifth when they put together their first three-run inning.

Softball: Lobos travel to Las Cruces to take on NMSU

Cameron Goeldner | April 3

The University of New Mexico Softball team will look to turn things around in a Tuesday doubleheader against the rival New Mexico State Aggies in Las Cruces. The first game begins at 4 p.m., with the second scheduled to follow at 6.  The Lobos (10-24) are coming off of a weekend sweep against Nevada, as the team was limited to just 12 hits the entire weekend in the trio of defeats. However, UNM is on a two game non-conference winning streak after a sweep of North Dakota last week.

Softball: Lobos swept by Nevada, extend conference losing streak to eight

Cameron Goeldner | April 1

The University of New Mexico Softball team suffered another series sweep this weekend, this time against the Nevada Wolfpack. The series began with a Friday game that the Wolfpack won 7-1. The highlight for the Lobos came in the top of the fourth when MacKenzie Peterson did the splits in order to turn a double-play that was featured on Twitter by the NCAA Softball account. Kiana Spencer got the start for the Lobos, throwing another complete game that included six strikeouts and two walks on 113 total pitches.  UNM only was able to muster two hits all evening, with those coming off the bats of Lauren Wilmert and Aleyah Wilbon. Wilmert's hit was the one of consequence, as it drove in the Lobos only run of the day as Cameryn O'Grady, who had reached base via a walk. She narrowly missed a home run on the hit, which would have given UNM a lead. However, it hit off the top of the wall and only scored the one.

Confusion surrounds Lobo Hockey and charity game

Robert Maler | March 25

If you thought the UNM Lobo hockey club was teaming together with the Albuquerque Police and Fire Departments — you weren't alone. Several Facebook comments seemed to indicate fans were under the same impression, but that apparently wasn't the case. UNM head hockey coach Grant Harvey said he and his team were not asked to participate, but said he wished the organizers well in their effort to raise funds.

New Mexico United remains undefeated after four games

Kyle Land | March 25

After their first four games as a franchise, New Mexico United remain undefeated.  Saturday’s 2-2 draw against Orange County sees Albuquerque’s brand new soccer team rise to sixth place in the Group B standings of the United Soccer League (USL). The top eight from each of the two groups will advance to the playoffs at the end of the season. The teams of the seventh and eight place will do a play-in game at the beginning. The team picked up their first win of the season last Wednesday with a 2-1 win against the Tulsa Roughnecks at Isotopes Park. United scored two goals within the first 20 minutes, one coming from the Albuquerque-native Devon Sandoval.

Baseball: Lobos finally break through for big win in final game of SDSU series

Robert Maler | March 25

Sunday afternoon seemed to be going the same way the first two games of the series did between the University of New Mexico baseball team and San Diego State. The Lobos (12-11, 4-5 MW) seemed to have momentum going against them and the Aztecs took advantage for the most part and enjoyed an early lead again. Drew Gillespie got the start on the hill for UNM and sat down seven of the first nine men he faced. But San Diego State pounded out four hits including back-to-back for extra bases and opened up a 3-0 lead over New Mexico heading into the home half of the fourth.

Baseball: Tough calls contribute to 4-2 Lobo loss against San Diego State

Robert Maler | March 24

The Lobos found themselves on the wrong side of a couple of overturned calls Friday night as the University of New Mexico baseball team fell 4-2 to the San Diego State Aztecs at Santa Ana Star Field. New Mexico (11-10, 3-4 MW) appeared to be cruising with Justin Slaten dealing on the mound. The right-hander got the start and sat down the first nine Aztec batters — striking out four along the way. But the Lobos were not able to capitalize offensively and stranded three base runners through three innings, keeping the game a scoreless tie.

Baseball: Late comeback not enough as No. 25 Oklahoma sweeps Lobos

Matthew Narvaiz | March 20

The University of New Mexico baseball team trailed by a score of 8-0 before rallying for six runs late in the game, but it wasn’t enough as the Lobos were held scoreless in the bottom of the ninth and suffered defeat for the second straight day at the hands of No. 25 Oklahoma.  UNM (11-9, 3-3 Mountain West) was defeated 8-1 on Tuesday evening, in a lopsided affair which saw the Sooners put on a pitching clinic. The Sooners were able to go up 3-1 before exploding in the sixth inning for four runs.

New Mexico United : Season opens with a draw against Fresno FC

Andrew Gunn | March 20

New Mexico United opened their heavily anticipated inaugural campaign on Friday in front of a sellout crowd at Isotopes Park, coming away with a 1-1 draw and their first ever point against Fresno FC. Sporting the black and yellow home kit with the Meow Wolf logo emblazoned across the chest, Devon Sandoval opened his scoring account in the 25th minute with the first goal in club history. United were to be denied a victory and the full three points, however, after Brazilian winger Jackson's header from just outside the six yard box found the net for the visitors just minutes into the second half.

Men's Basketball: Wolf Pack upset as Aztecs advance to meet Utah State in title game

March 16

For the second time in as many years, the University of Nevada Wolf Pack will enter the NCAA Tournament — but not as Mountain West Champions, after it was defeated by the San Diego State Aztecs in the semifinal round. Last year, the Wolf Pack got beaten soundly by San Diego State, losing 90-73 in a game that probably wasn't as close as the final score might indicate — as the Aztecs led by as many as 34.

Men's Basketball: Lobos unable to advance; lose to No. 2 Utah State

Robert Maler | March 15

Utah State University men's basketball coach Craig Smith said it's something he speaks to his team about on a constant basis, but it's not what you may be thinking. "Next best action," Smith said. When things are not going right for the Aggies, he said his players are urged to think "NBA" and try to find a way to reverse the trend.
