NEW MEXICO LOBO SOCCER: IN THE THICK OF THINGS!
Lobo Faithful,
Tough night in Charlotte! We dodged Hurricane Matthew, managed the travel, prepared meticulously for a “Top 20” opponent….yet gave away “openings” to a quality team. Sitting here in the office early morning after a disappointing trip and result, one can only focus on the next match and learn from our experiences thus far. We have a wonderful and driven group….good times ahead! After two convincing home results, we were ready for #17 UNCC. We had our tactics right, were rested, excited and firing on all cylinders. Two first half goals off uncharacteristic mistakes and ensuing penalty kicks was not how we anticipated the match opening. As expected from this team, we never let down, re-grouped at halftime and came out firing with an early second half goal, with good chances to even the score the last 35 minutes of the match. Really disappointing 1-2 loss to a quality team. No excuses. Only ourselves to blame for this one! Match Re-Cap
Keeping things upbeat and in perspective, is our program’s continued academic achievement. Lobo Men’s Soccer just received the NSCAA Team Academic Award for the 13th time in the past 14 seasons. We have had 19 players named Academic All-American over the past 14 years. This is the most of any men’s soccer program in the country in all divisions of the NCAA. Really proud of our players’ commitment to excellence in the classroom, community and playing field! Website Article
Next match on the road vs Florida Atlantic this Saturday. We will be ready! Thanks for all your support and GO LOBOS!
