The Lobos and Spartans square off in a key Mountain West conference Friday night at UNM Soccer Complex at 7 PM. This match will have a lot to say about who will end up being the regular season champion, as SJSU is currently tied with SDSU for the conference lead, two points ahead of the Lobos. It will be interesting to see how many Lobo fans will be in attendance with the Lobo Howl at the same time as the match, so hopefully there are plenty of fans in the mood for some soccer. A key factor to watch for in this match will be the weather. Depending on if the wind dies down or not, it could dictate how the teams will play in order to take the wind out of the match. It will be key for the Lobos to be able to put pressure on the Spartans and find an early goal in the match.

Women’s Soccer Road Trip Recap
It was a successful road trip for the Lobos, as they got a 0-0 draw against Wyoming and a 2-1 win against CSU. The results improved the Lobos to 3-0-1 on the road during conference play and making their conference record 4-1-1 with five matches left to play. This also improved their overall season record to 6-6-1 after starting the season 2-5-0. The Lobos have found their stride and it will be interesting to see how these last five matches play out. The Lobos are in 3rd place right now, two points behind SDSU and SJSU who are both 5-1-0, but the Lobos will play both sides at home during the five matches, so they will certainly have their opportunities to win the conference.
Women’s Soccer at Wyoming Preview
The Lobo women’s soccer team heads north this weekend to take on the Wyoming Cowgirls on Friday night in a key Mountain West match-up. This is a very important game for both teams, as they try to position themselves to be in contention for the regular season title. Both teams are also looking to rebound from their losses on Sunday and are wanting to avoid going on a losing streak. The Lobos need to put pressure early on the Cowgirls and find the first goal of the match, because it is unknown how the elevation at Wyoming (7,200 ft.) will affect the Lobos in this match. If the elevation doesn’t affect the Lobos, they will be able to play this match out like they do everywhere else.
Women’s Soccer Weekend Recap
New Mexico Women’s Soccer went on the road this past weekend to start Mountain West play with two matches, one against Utah State and the other against Boise State. Although these matches were played differently, the results were the same, as the Lobos came home with two victories. This was an important start for the Lobos for many reasons. It not only showed that playing against a great schedule readied the team for conference play, it gave them a huge advantage in the conference by winning two road matches on the first weekend of the season.
UNM Women’s Soccer AT Boise State Preview
New Mexico (3-5-0, 1-0-0) AT Boise State (3-5-3, 1-0-0)
Both the Lobos and Broncos are coming off Conference opening wins on Friday, with the Lobos beating Utah State 1-0 on the road, and the Broncos beating SDSU at home 2-1. This will be an interesting game to see how it plays out the two sides have one common opponent in Idaho State with two very different results, the Lobos won their match against Idaho State 4-1, while the Broncos had a 1-1 draw in their match. It is still early in Mountain West play but if the Lobos can find another great result today against the Broncos it sets them up well for a great conference season.
UNM Women’s Soccer vs. Utah State Preview
The Lobos Women’s soccer team will kick off their Mountain West Conference schedule this weekend, as they hit the road to face Utah State on Friday and Boise State on Sunday. While the Lobos record doesn’t look great right now, they played well in all but one of the games, including three 1-0 losses. The Lobos look to start the conference season off well today when they face a very solid Utah State team Friday afternoon. Utah State won the match last year 2-0 in Albuquerque, so the Lobos are certainly looking for a better result. The Lobos are also looking to continue the success on the road in conference play from last year, where they didn’t lose a single road conference game, going 4-0-1.
