Women's soccer: Lobos' 2-0 MW start is huge, coach says

J.R. Oppenheim | October 2

After the opening weekend, the Mountain West looks like a balanced women’s soccer conference. Every team – except one-win Fresno State – has between three to five wins in their overall records. That makes New Mexico’s 2-0 start in MW play all the more valuable. UNM (4-5-0 overall) is one of three teams to survive the first conference weekend unbeaten, joining Colorado College (4-6-1) and San Jose State (4-4-2) with unblemished starts. Two of the five-win teams -- San Diego State and Wyoming -- split the first two conference games and the other two – UNLV and Utah State – dropped the first two MW contests.

Letter: State commissioners lack 21st Century modesty

October 1

Editor, Agenda Item No. 8 at the New Mexico State Game Commission public hearing held on Tuesday in Albuquerque was a request by the Pueblo of Santa Ana to transplant a number of pronghorn antelope on to their pueblo lands to aid in their recovery and for various tribal uses. Although I initially went to this state commission meeting in hopes of hearing the issue titled Agenda Item No. 7, I decided to stay and sat in the back of the hotel ballroom to witness a little of the New Mexico State Game Commission in action.

Lobo alumnus champions social change

Liam Cary-Eaves | October 1

Leadership, poise, charisma and a positive attitude are all desirable traits when recruiting a student-athlete. Marcus “Goodie” Goodloe brought these traits to the University of New Mexico football field along with a calling to facilitate change in the community. Goodloe, a product of South Central Los Angeles, said he chose to attend UNM in the early 1990s for several of reasons: he would get to see playing time right away for a struggling program, he would get to experience a new culture with plenty of sunshine, and he would get a fresh start to tackle issues dear to him.

Trebel Music app aims directly for UNM user base

Skylar Griego | September 29

With all the new albums coming out this season, it’s hard for students to sort through them and decide which are worth spending hard-earned money on. Unfortunately, many students just can’t afford to buy all the music they want. That leaves them with three options: pay subscription fees for music streaming, use free downloaders and streaming services (which can work out well or end in disaster), or go without. Corey Jones, chief of product at M&M Media, Inc. said these options are inadequate to meet the desires of the students using them.
