After three consecutive victories away from home against top teams in the region, the Lobos faced yet another test of their strength and character. But this time, the setting was a bit more familiar.
The Lobos (6-5) faced both Texas-San Antonio and New Mexico State on Saturday in their first of three weekend home matches this season, and picked up wins against both.
The squad seemed eager to battle in front of their home fans, and perhaps felt some additional pressure hosting arch-rival NMSU — a team it had not lost to in three years.
New Mexico entered Saturday on a three-match win streak, all of which came last weekend in Salt Lake City, Utah.
