Protestors denounce Kavanaugh at Civic Plaza

Megan Holmen | September 30

Protestors gathered with signs, banners and stories to tell at Albuquerque Civic Plaza Friday evening to protest Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Kavanaugh has been accused of sexually assaulting multiple women, including Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, when they were in high school. On Thursday Sept. 27, Kavanaugh and Ford gave testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, each giving their own statement ON what purportedly happened in the summer of 1982. The protest occurred Friday, the same day that the Committee voted along party lines to send Kavanaugh’s nomination to a full senate vote that will take place after a week long investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Samia Assed, chairwoman of the New Mexico Women’s March, was one of the organizers of the event.

Concert Review: Lauryn Hill owns the show at Isleta

Colton Newman | September 30

Taking the stage an hour late wearing a tie-dye hoodie, an oversized jean jacket and an explosive white dress, Ms. Lauryn Hill demanded respect throughout her hour and a half, heart wrenching performance of her iconic album “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.” The evening began with a bumpy start as the rumors and articles of Lauryn Hill arriving late to performances held true on Monday night. The Isleta Amphitheater stage was left vacant for more than an hour as many attendees began to wonder if she was going to cancel her performance and just not show. For most people waiting an hour was nothing, as most concert goers had been waiting for 20 years to experience Hill’s live performance. All I can say is the show was well worth the wait. Ms. Hill did all but disappoint. Her ability to rap breathless bars wasn’t affected by Albuquerque’s elevation or the cold she admitted to hating, neither was her ability to produce pitch perfect cries of heartbreak.

Women's Soccer: Lobos build early lead, snare first road win of the season

Robert Maler | September 30

University of New Mexico women's soccer had not held a lead on the road at any point this season entering Friday's matchup with the Fresno State Bulldogs, but quickly built a first-half lead that helped the team snag its first road win on the season. New Mexico (6-4, 2-1 MW) scored just one goal through its first three road matches, but took just under two and a half minutes to put up a goal against the Bulldogs after Jessica Nelson set up sophomore forward Gwen Maly placed the ball just over goalkeeper Nicole Theroux. The goal, which was Maly's third of the season, gave New Mexico a 1-0 lead and but the Lobos in the unfamiliar role of playing from ahead. That luxury is something that probably helped UNM withstand being outshot 23-16 overall in the game and getting doubled up on shots in the second half.

Justin Garcia | September 30

Editor’s Note: The undergraduate population of the University of New Mexico is represented by the Associated Students of the University of New Mexico — an organization with several moving parts. The purpose of this article is to familiarize students with ASUNM. There is a small, unassuming office on the bottom floor of the Student Union Building. A clear sign with crimson letters, reading “Associated Students of the University of New Mexico,” hangs above a heavy wooden door. Inside this clean little office resides a few free blue books, plaques of presidents and senators past, and about $1,000,000 of student fees — your money — bound-up in documents and records.

Cameron Goeldner | September 30

The New Mexico Football team lost to Liberty 52-43 on Saturday night at Dreamstyle Stadium, but what could be the biggest loss for the team occurred in the second quarter when Tevaka Tuioti, in his first game back after suffering a concussion in the game against Wisconsin, broke his left clavicle at the end of a 24-yard scramble. Head coach Bob Davie said that Tuioti will have surgery on it Monday and that he is “probably” out for the year.

Men's soccer: Second half mistakes doom Lobos against Florida International

Cameron Goeldner | September 29

It was a tale of two halves for the University of New Mexico Men’s Soccer team (3-7-0, 1-2-0 C-USA) on Saturday against Florida International University (4-5-0, 3-0-0 C-USA), as three second half goals for the Panthers resulted in a 4-2 win for FIU. “Pretty disappointing,” head coach Jeremy Fishbein said. “Made a mistake and gave up an early goal. (We) came back and I thought we closed out the first half really well with two goals and had a good grip on the game. We talked at halftime that the first ten minutes was crucial and that that was going to be their opportunity to get momentum back. ...You’re not going to win games when you give up goals in those key moments.”

Men's soccer: Lobos loses late to St. Mary's

Cameron Goeldner | September 27

The New Mexico Men’s Soccer team was 21 seconds away from forcing overtime with the No. 10 team in the nation when St. Mary’s caught Lobo keeper Alex Fetterly out of the box and capitalized to seal a 1-0 win. “That’s about as tough as it comes,” Lobos head coach Jeremy Fishbein said. “I thought we had good sequences in the game and I thought as the second half picked up we were quite good, and that we had the majority of play. Little mistakes where we gave the ball away. That’s a team that is very good in transition, they had some dangerous attacking guys that we gave too many opportunities, we were not disciplined enough with the ball.” The game began with the Lobos controlling the possession and holding the ball in the final third, but failing to generate many shots or chances. They only managed to put one shot on goal both in the half and in the game and it came off the foot of Matt Puig in the first half.

It wasn’t perfect, but after a shaky second set from the University of New Mexico volleyball team, the Lobos rallied to win the final two sets to defeat the visiting UNLV Rebels on Wednesday evening at Johnson Gym. UNLV entered the contest at 11-3 and a perfect 2-0 in the Mountain West, while New Mexico was a mediocre .500 and coming off of a loss to the Boise State Broncos. Now, with the win, UNM (8-7) stands at 2-1 in conference play -- and is tied with UNLV in the Mountain West, respectively.

Football: Lobos to start Tuioti on Saturday

Cameron Goeldner | September 27

Tevaka Tuioti will start at quarterback for the Lobos on Saturday, head coach Bob Davie announced after practice on Tuesday. “I’m excited to get back on the field,” Tuioti said. It’s a different feeling when gametime comes, you’ve got the adrenaline coming and I don’t worry about (getting hurt) though, I’m just here to play football and have fun.” Tuioti, who suffered a concussion in the first quarter of the Lobos matchup against Wisconsin, missed two weeks of practice and returned to practice on Monday. He had to earn the starting job back after a rusty return to the field Monday and a week of strong practices from Sheriron Jones, who started for the Lobos against New Mexico State.
