The New Mexico women’s soccer team honors seven seniors Thursday at home in its regular- season finale, which happens to be the most critical game of the year.

A win against San Diego State, and the first-place Lobos (7-3-7, 5-1-4) repeat as Mountain West Conference regular season champions. Anything less and there will be scoreboard-watching (translation: checking of smart devices to see who else wins and loses in league games Thursday).

“We’re really hopeful we have a huge crowd – we need it,” said UNM head coach Heather Dyche Tuesday. “It’s gonna be a big game against a very good San Diego State team, and hopefully it’ll be in a long line of electric games that have been played on this field over the course of (UNM) soccer.
