The University of New Mexico Men’s Soccer team got a first-hand taste of why Kentucky is the No. 3 ranked team in the nation on Saturday, as the Wildcats battered the Lobos in a 6-1 loss.
"We didn't open the match with maturity and we were exposed defensively," head coach Jeremy Fishbein said in a release. "There are no excuses, Kentucky is an excellent team with confidence and a few special players. We played into their strengths. As the coach, I didn't prepare our team properly, I will take the blame for this one.”
Kentucky wasted no time attacking the net, recording its first shot of the game less than a minute into the match, and scoring its first goal in the seventh minute of the game.
