Only the top six teams in the Mountain West Conference advance to the conference tournament, and both squads playing on Friday night needed a positive result, making the fixture between New Mexico and Wyoming a critical match.
New Mexico (7-7-3, 3-5-1 MW) entered the match tied for the seventh spot, with Wyoming (9-7-1, 5-4-0 MW) sixth in the standings.
Unfortunately for the Lobos, it just wasn’t their night, with the team suffering a 3-0 shutout.
Wyoming’s first goal came in the 14th minute, when a cross from junior defender Alisha Bass found junior defender Shaina Ashouri, who tapped the ball in with her left foot from three yards out.
