The Lobos (12-7, 7-4 MW) conceded a goal within the final five second of the game to lose to San Diego State (10-7-2, 7-2-2 MW) at the UNM Soccer Complex on Friday night—the Lobos’ senior night.
Before the game, the Lobos were vying to maintain the second seed in the Mountain West Conference standings. The first and second seeds receive a bye to the semifinals.
But both San Diego State and Boise State were close behind. An SDSO win would see them finish second, while a tie between SDSU and UNM would have put Boise second.
SDSU started the game on the front-foot, and punished the Lobos within the first minute of the game.
