Despite a solid showing, the Lobos ended their six-game undefeated streak with a 4-0 road loss against Florida International University on Saturday.
The loss denoted UNM's most lop-sided defeat of the season and dropped the Lobos to an overall record of 8-4-2 overall and 3-2-1 in C-USA.
A contest between two of the top four teams in Conference USA ended with the Lobos losing and FIU carrying forward its own unbeaten streak. The Panthers (10-0-3, 5-0-1 C-USA) are unbeaten so far this season in 13 games, including wins in each of their last seven matches.
Coincidentally, New Mexico dealt Florida International its last defeat, knocking the Panthers out of the C-USA tournament by a score of 3-0.
