Isaiah Chavez did it again.
The Rio Rancho product did enough to awaken a slumbering New Mexico offense Saturday in its 14-3 win in Mountain West Conference play vs. host Wyoming in Laramie. The win ended a five-game losing streak for the Lobos (3-5, 1-3). Wyoming, a 20-point underdog, fell to 4-3 and 0-3.
Chavez came on in the final two games last year, both Lobo wins in their 2-5 2020 season. This was his first start of the 2021 season, replacing Kentucky transfer Terry Wilson.
