After beating UNLV and NAU in their first two Mountain West Conference games of the season, the Lobos appear to be entering a rhythm.
The Lobos (7-3, 2-0 MW) have won their last four games and took down last year’s conference champions UNLV 2-1 at home last Friday.
But the Lobos will face strong regional sides Boise State and Utah State away from home in their next couple of conference fixtures.
“Next week is one of the hardest trips in conference,” UNM head coach Heather Dyche said. “It’s reasonably long travel in between, but both teams are very well coached—they have this big attacking shape so you run a lot—and so for us, we have to find a way to get some results out of the weekend.
