New Mexico’s softball season ended on a sour note, being swept in the final three games of the 2016 campaign.
The Lobos were within spitting distance of finishing .500, but after dropping seven of the team’s last eight contests, those aspirations were squashed.
Just a year ago, UNM finished with a 13-11 conference record, its winning season since 2001.
However, similar to the play of the better part of the last 15 years, UNM struggled again to reach the plateau and make a postseason appearance.
As a rule of thumb, teams usually play better in front of home crowds.
