It took 109 minutes and 32 seconds, but the grinding paid off.
The Lobos took a 1-0 victory over the Colorado State University, Bakersfield Roadrunners on Friday, the first night of the Grange and Ashwill Memorial Tournament. The win came with 28 seconds remaining in the second period of overtime.
The result ensures the streak of no goals allowed in regulation time by the UNM defense continues.
From the Lobo net, starting goalkeeper Jason Beaulieu sent the ball straight to senior forward Niko Hansen. Seconds later, Hansen’s shot was converted into the lone goal of the match.
