Lobos Drop C-USA Opener 1-0 at Kentucky

LEXINGTON, KY. --- For the third straight season, the University of New Mexico men's soccer team dropped its conference opener on Sunday night as the #21 Lobos fell 1-0 to Kentucky on an early goal in the fifth minute. The loss snaps a five-win streak for the Lobos and is the first loss since UNM fell to ranked opponents Notre Dame and Indiana in its season-opening weekend.

All three Lobo losses this season have been by just one goal, 1-0.

Kentucky kicked off the season picked to finish first in the conference by the league's head coaches in the 2016 Conference USA Preseason Coaches Poll while the Lobos were slated to finish tied for fourth.
