In the Rio Grande Rivalry game last week, the Lobos seemed to dominate the Aggies and came close to scoring but couldn’t find the net—and late into the game, UNM was punished on a counterattack.
But on Saturday against UTEP, it was the Lobos that finally broke through in dramatic fashion.
It was a game with high stakes; both UNM (2-2) and UTEP (0-4) had likely hoped for stronger starts to their seasons.
Both teams fought hard and defended well, but UNM had the majority of the possession and registered 23 shots, with 11 of them on target.
