ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- Senior Niko Hansen of the University of New Mexico men's soccer team notched his first career hat trick on Saturday night, leading the Lobos to a 3-1 victory over UC Irvine on the road. The win marks the fifth straight for UNM, matching last season's longest win streak.
Hansen's hat trick is not only the first of his career, it is also the first by a Lobo since Devon Sandoval netted three goals against UNLV on Oct. 19, 2012.
"This was a great result with a 3-1 win on the road," head coach Jeremy Fishbein said.
