The University of New Mexico women’s soccer team pulled off a dramatic late comeback against Fresno State in the first round of the Mountain West Conference tournament, beating the Bulldogs in penalties 5-4 Tuesday night.
“I’m just so proud of them,” UNM head coach Heather Dyche said after the game.
The Lobos had already improved upon last season by qualifying for the Mountain West Conference tournament. UNM nearly took the second seed this year but missed out after losing 4-3 to San Diego State last Friday.
The fourth-seeded Lobos played the Bulldogs earlier this season in conference play and won 1-0 through a game-winning goal from senior forward Claire Lynch.
