New Mexico men’s soccer was unbeaten at home last season, and continued to protect home turf with an exhibition win over Air Force on Saturday.
Both teams had stretches in the first half where it controlled the ball, but Air Force and New Mexico played to a dead heat, going into halftime tied 0-0 at the UNM Soccer Complex.
The Falcons struck first, putting an Austin Dewing shot past the goalkeeper at the 61:11 mark to snag a 1-0 advantage over the Lobos.
But the lead was short-lived.
New Mexico notched the equalizer a mere 15 seconds later after Aaron Herrera put freshman Nick Taylor in position to tie things up.
