It took 110 minutes and nine rounds of penalty kicks in 40-degree weather, but the New Mexico men’s soccer team is moving on to play in the second round of the NCAA Tournament after beating the Portland Pilots.
The Lobos hosted Portland on Thursday night in a first round-matchup, with over 2,300 fans in attendance. Once again, it was Ford Parker’s appearance in the net that led to a win.
The redshirt freshman made the last save of the night by diving to the right, sending the ball straight to the right post and making it bounce outside of the net to the left.
