Smithson scored 12 points with four goals and four assists in 2008, earning his third All-MPSF honor. A 5-9 midfielder from Chicago, Ill., he was a second team selection in 2006 and honorable mention last season. Smithson finishes his Lobo career with 29 points off of nine goals and 11 assists.
Wright, the 2007 MPSF Player of the Year, earns his third all-league honor. A 6-5 forward from Fair Oaks, Calif., he was also a second team selection in 2006. He scored six goals and three assists for 15 points in 2008. He made his mark on UNM’s record books, ranking seventh in scoring with 68 points, fifth in goals with 26, sixth in shots with 148 and sixth in games played with 80.
Farquharson played in al 19 games at right-back, tallying three assists on the season. The 6-1 defender from Phoenix, Ariz., has a goal and four assists in his career. This is his first all-conference recognition.

The Lobos finished with an 11-6-2 record, just missing out on an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. Smithson, Wright and Mike Porter are the lone graduating seniors, giving New Mexico eight starters returning for the 2009 season.
