BIG HOME WEEKEND, COMING OFF TWO WINS!
Lobo Faithful,
Last weekend was a big one for us. Two convincing wins, two shutouts and the boys are finding their form! Our defense has yet to give up a goal in the run of play and we are becoming more dynamic and fluid in attack. I really love this group! Unified, hard-working, tough and empathetic…..they really care about one another, a rare quality amongst competitive athletes these days. Friday night’s 2-0 win over a quality Northridge team was highlighted by one of our “all-time” best opening halves of soccer. The first 45 minutes was fantastic on both sides of the ball. We debuted our new turquoise uniforms….New Mexico Pride! Fun team to watch! Northridge Recap
The boys were disciplined with their recovery after the match Friday night and again on Saturday. Full of energy and prepared for Sunday’s match vs a very talented Cal Poly. A very comprehensive performance rewarded with another 2-0 win. With the 6 points (3 points for a win), we captured the TLC Plumbing and Utility Invitational Championship. Cal Poly Re-Cap
Another challenging home weekend ahead of us, as we host The Grange and Ashwill Memorial Invitational. Patrick Grange and Ben Ashwill were Lobo Soccer greats who departed much too soon. I think of them often….tough one to swallow, but a reminder to make the most of every day and make an impact on the lives of others. We open with Cal State Bakersfield this Friday at 7:00 and play Grand Canyon Sunday at 6:00. Missouri State is the neutral and open the tournament vs GCU Friday at 4:00 pm.
