The UNM women's tennis team opened its season in style this weekend. No. 67 UNM rallied to beat No. 38 Colorado 4-3 in a nail-biter at the UNM Tennis Complex on Saturday. The win marked the first time the Lobos have beaten a top-40 school in more than a year.
It was a game of second chances. Unfortunately for the UNM men's basketball team, it couldn't take advantage of the ones it was given. In the Lobos' conference home opener, they let a second-half lead slip and fell to San Diego State 72-67. Head coach Steve Alford attributed the loss to UNM's trouble with rebounding and giving up second-chance points.
A seventh straight NCAA appearance: the ultimate goal for the UNM women's basketball team this season. The Lobos finished the 2006 season at 24-9 and made it to the first round of the NCAA tournament. As the winningest coach in UNM history, head coach Don Flanagan hopes to continue the streak this year. With two exhibition games and three regular-season contests under the team's belt, Flanagan has an idea of what the Lobos need to work on for the rest of the season.
If you haven't watched Major League Baseball all season, start now. Dust off your ball caps, pull out your jerseys and get ready for the best players in the country to take the field. With the selections being made July 1, it's that time again for the MLB All-Star Game, and this year promises more surprises than Oprah at Christmastime.
2007 is off to a rough start for the UNM men's basketball team. The Lobos started the season 9-3 and were undefeated at the Pit. But so far in 2007, they're winless.
When Don Flanagan was hired as the UNM women's basketball coach in 1995, one of the most important tasks was to beat New Mexico State as much as possible.
After the turkey and trimmings were put away, it was time for the UNM women's basketball team to get back to business. The Lobos feasted on the Siena Saints' defense in a 78-39 victory in the championship game of the AmeriSuites Midtown Thanksgiving Tournament at The Pit on Saturday.
The Texas Longhorns came to The Pit looking for revenge against the UNM women's basketball team. They didn't find it.
The UNM women's soccer team hung with No. 16 Brigham Young University through two overtimes. Unfortunately for the Lobos, they didn't put away late opportunities, and the game ended in a 1-1 draw Saturday at the UNM Soccer Complex.
The air is getting colder. Summer is coming to an end. And with the arrival of fall comes the best part of baseball season - the playoffs. Two teams not making postseason appearances, which probably should have, are the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox.
