Lobo Faithful:
Just finished Day #7 of preseason training and the boys are tired of kicking each other, and are ready to play someone in a different uniform. The University of New Mexico men’s soccer team departs for Southern California tomorrow afternoon for exhibition matches versus Cal State Northridge on the 16th at 7:00 pm and San Diego State on the 18th at 1:00 pm. Excitement is high and I feel really good about this team. Our seniors have done an incredible job leading and our new additions have fit in seamlessly. A few boys have some knocks and bruises, but all 26 players should see the field this weekend. I wanted to pass on links to recent articles relating to the program:
Link to Men’s Soccer home page (quality video attached to several of the articles including season preview).Lobo Men’s Soccer ranked #2 in the country by College Soccer News in preseason rankings.Sandoval and Venter named to Hermann Trophy watch list (top 42 players in the country nominated for Division I National Player of the Year)
Great video produced by Univision! Classic dubbing due to my poor Spanish.
Our season opener vs UCLA will be televised nationally by the Pac-12 network (kickoff 7:00 pm Pacific time on August 24th).
Home opener vs UAB Friday, September 7th at 7:00.
