NEW MEXICO LOBO SOCCER: FINDING THE NET … INTO THE EYE OF THE HURRICANE!
Lobo Faithful,
WE PLAY FOR YOU AND THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO! Lobo Soccer continues to build momentum as we head into a HURRICANE … literally and figuratively. Great performance last night versus a very talented Loyola Marymount. Really proud of our leadership, preparation, focus, intensity, unity and offensive output! All 25 players are “ALL IN”. Everyone makes us better, cares about one another and works their a$$ off! Love this team! After a big conference win Friday, last night’s match vs LMU had all the trappings for “complacency” … were the boys going to remain focused for a non-conference match, over-confident coming off Friday’s big win over Florida International, thinking ahead to Saturday’s match versus Conference-USA leading UNC Charlotte … not the case. The entire squad was ready from the get go. Energized warm-up and we opened the match with quality, creating early chances and carrying the run of play. Should have put 2-3 chances in the net the first 25 minutes and then hit a bit of a lull the last 20. Good response at halftime and re-focused after hitting upon a few key points. 3 goals in the opening 10 minutes of the second half and all Lobos! Rochowski, Hansen and Herrera all with finishes. Great defense for 90 minutes and our 5th clean sheet. Well done boys! Re-cap and Highlights
Now for the “Hurricane” part of the story. We depart for Charlotte, NC Friday morning for a 7:00 pm Saturday match. Hurricane Matthew is hammering the east coast … #15 UNC Charlotte is “on fire” and leading Conference-USA. We are heading into a hurricane … literally and figuratively. Checking the weather this morning (using my amateur meteorology skills), it appears Matthew has deviated from his initial path and Charlotte will miss out on the heavy rains. Fingers crossed, we are planning for good weather Saturday night and a tremendous match. The team will be fresh, prepared and ready for the challenge ahead. Thanks for all your support and GO LOBOS!
