The New Mexico softball team opened its 2016 season with two wins and three losses at the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Arizona, over the weekend.
The Lobos started the tournament Friday afternoon with a 2-1 victory over San Diego, with runs from right fielder Jade Gray and shortstop Michala Erickson. Freshman Collette Robert earned her first win in her debut.
UNM followed that performance up with an 8-4 win over Stanford in its first game Saturday. The Lobos scored three runs in the first inning and led for the remainder. Lauren Soles had the win in the circle.
