ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — It’s another weekend of University of New Mexico women’s soccer and another road trip for the Lobos as they travel to take on Weber State on Friday and Idaho State on Sunday.
It’s the fourth and fifth game of a seven-game road stretch to start the season for UNM – the most consecutive games played away from Albuquerque since 2002 when the Lobos played 10 games in a row on the road.
The Lobos started the road with losses against ranked opponents in No. 16 Texas Tech (2-1) and No. 21 California (2-0) before picking up their first win in a 5-2 victory over Pacific on Sunday. It’s the most goals scored by the Lobos away from Albuquerque since 2009 and in non-conference play since 2010.
This will be the first time the Lobos will be on the road playing at Weber State and Idaho State.
NOTES HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND:
- In the Lobos’ 5-2 victory over Pacific on Sunday, UNM had four players score a goal apiece in Jennifer Muñoz, Jessie Hix, Gwen Maly and Claire Lynch while the other tally for the Lobos was an own goal. For the sophomore Muñoz and the freshmen Hix and Maly, it was each their first career collegiate goal.
- Claire Lynch’s goal Sunday was the 10th of her career and has her approaching the program’s all-time top-10 list for goals. She’s two goals behind the No. 10 spot, occupied by Michelle Nowfel (1999-02), and three behind being tied for the No. 7 spot with a trio of former Lobos (Lindsey Guice, Zaneta Wyne and Dani Rangel).
- Friday’s match against Weber State will be the first time the Lobos have played on the road against the Wildcats. UNM last played Weber State Sept. 7, 2014, at the Colorado College Invitational in Colorado Springs (a 2-1 loss). The only other time these schools have met is when the Lobos lost to the Wildcats 2-0 at home Oct. 4, 1998.
- The Lobos have played Idaho State twice in their history, both victories for UNM. The Lobos defeated the Bengals 4-1 last season at UNM Soccer Complex and also beat Idaho Sate 2-0 Aug. 21, 2009, in Albuquerque. This will be UNM’s first trip to play in Pocatello.
