After beating Wyoming 3-2 in Laramie, Wyoming, on Sunday, the Lobos (12-6, 7-3 MW) guaranteed themselves a place in the Mountain West Conference Tournament.
The Lobos narrowly missed out on the conference tournament last year—in part because of a 3-0 home loss to Wyoming.
In the build up to the game on Sunday, UNM head coach Heather Dyche said her team would be looking to avenge themselves for last season’s loss.
Heading into the game, Wyoming (7-9-2, 3-6-1 MW) was looking to keep their conference tournament hopes alive. Two wins in their final two games would have brought the Cowgirls up to 18 points—potentially enough to seal conference qualification.
