Lobos senior forward Korynn Blanksma jumps over Fresno States goal keeper after making a goal at the UNM Soccer Complex Sunday, Oct. 18. The Lobos play San Diego State Friday at 7 p.m..
New Mexico has a couple different scenarios to lock up a No. 2 seed in next week’s Mountain West women’s soccer tournament. The one guaranteed way: beat San Diego State this Friday.
A win is not 100 percent imperative for the Lobos to earn that crucial first-round bye. UNM sits one point ahead of San Jose State for second place. Even if UNM matches the same result San Jose State gets in its finale against Fresno State, the Lobos will finish second in the regular season and play in next Thursday’s semifinal round.
