The UNM men’s soccer team fell 2-0 to the Conference USA preseason favorites, the Charlotte 49ers on Tuesday night.
New Mexico head coach Jeremy Fishbein said he thought he had an idea of what to expect coming into the game, but unfortunately the Lobos were not able to keep up with Charlotte.
The 49ers (8-4-2, 5-0-1 C-USA) were coming in having allowed just nine goals in 13 matches. Their defense was strong, having limited their previous opponents to just 41 shots on goal.
They brought those same defensive skills to Tuesday’s match. The 49ers only allowed two shots during the first half.
