30 seconds was all it took to change the outcome of the game.
After what seemed to be a statistically even match, the Lobos fell 1-0 to the No. 13 Indiana University Hoosiers during their season opener at South Bend, Indiana, on Friday.
IU's goal came in the 89th minute after the referee called a handball on a Lobo defender.
Indiana’s senior midfielder Tanner Thompson took the awarded penalty kick and sent the ball past UNM’s junior goalkeeper Jason Beaulieu.
Thompson had a good chance to score earlier in the match when he sent a shot from the top-left corner of the box in the 29th minute.
