Baseball: Lobos blow late lead, lose to Aggies in extras

Robert Maler | April 18

The Lobos and Aggies squared off on a baseball diamond for the second time this season, and history repeated itself as NMSU gave up a sizable lead — only to reclaim it later and pull out a victory. New Mexico gave up a grand slam in the opening inning before tying things up in the first meeting and allowed the Aggies to get on the scoreboard early again on Tuesday night at Santa Ana Star Field. The Lobos got an immediate response in the bottom of the first inning, starting things off with a Justin Watari single and a Tyler Kelly triple to even things up at 1-1. Sophomore first baseman Connor Mang began an outstanding individual game effort with his first hit of the day — a one-one double to left-center — to plate Kelly and put the Lobos on top 2-1 after one inning of play.

Men's Basketball: Anthony Mathis to return for another season

Cameron Goeldner | April 18

Anthony Mathis will return for one more season.  The sharpshooter has been granted a season of competition waiver by the NCAA, which Geoff Grammer of the Albuquerque Journal reports is due to his usage by former head coach Craig Neal during the 2016-17 season.  "I’m incredibly blessed and fortunate to be able to play another year of college basketball and continue my academic journey," Mathis said in a tweet. "I look forward to getting back on the court and starting graduate school."

Baseball: Lobos drop two of three against Nevada; fall to last place in MW standings

Robert Maler | April 14

This weekend, Nevada baseball accomplished what the Lobos could not — take the rubber match of the series and get back in the Mountain West race. After getting swept in a three-game series by conference leaders San Jose State, the University of New Mexico baseball team found itself facing an uphill climb. But playing host to the visiting Wolf Pack, who came to Albuquerque with a 6-9 conference record gave the Lobos hope that they could make an upward move.

Baseball: Nevada shuts out Lobos in game two of series

Robert Maler | April 14

The University of New Mexico baseball team fell back into a last-place tie in the Mountain West standings, joining Nevada after getting shut out 3-0 by the Wolf Pack on Saturday afternoon. Runs were hard to come by as the teams combined to tally just 10 hits for the game and New Mexico (16-18, 7-10 MW) continued to strikeout plenty of Nevada batters, but a first-inning home run by the Wolf Pack was all the offense they needed as they earned a split through the first two games of a three-game set.

Baseball: Nevada strikes out in game one as Lobo starting pitcher sets new career-high

Robert Maler | April 14

Nevada baseball got on the scoreboard first, but never really seemed to be able to catch up to the stuff Lobo starting pitcher Drew Gillespie's was dealing. The Wolf Pack broke through with two runs in the top of the first inning, benefitting from a lead-off double and a single to put runners on the corners. Nevada duplicated that effort in reverse to take the 2-0 lead, but Gillespie sat down the next two batters to end the threat.

Softball: Lobos narrowly avoid being no-hit in loss to UTEP

Cameron Goeldner | April 11

The University of New Mexico Softball team barely avoided being no-hit by the UTEP Miners on Tuesday in a midweek non-conference matchup, losing 7-1.  UTEP got on the board immediately off of Lobos starter Kiana Spencer, as Kacey Duffield double to bring home leadoff hitter Ariel Blair to put the Miners up 1-0. They would add two more runs to their total to take a 3-0 lead before the Lobos ever came up to bat.

Softball: Utah State takes two of three from UNM

Cameron Goeldner | April 7

In the series opener on Friday night, the Lobos were finally able to put some runs on the board, but they just couldn't quite find enough in a 7-6 loss to Utah State. They outhit Utah State nine to six, but four USU homers, which accounted for all seven of their runs, proved to be the difference. Kianna Spencer started in the circle for the Lobos, pitching three innings and giving up five runs on four hits, as well as a walk and three strikeouts. UNM struck first, as a Cameryn O'Grady double in the top of the first drove home Aleyah Wilbon to give the Lobos a 1-0 lead.  The Aggies answered right back, however, with a solo shot in the bottom half of the inning tying the game at one. Utah State took the lead in the second with a two-run home run from Bailey Lewis and never looked back.

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.

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.
