Following New Mexico’s season opening loss to No. 19 Texas Tech on the road, the women’s soccer team is headed to the west coast to take on yet another ranked opponent, the California Golden Bears.
The Lobos (0-1-0) are scheduled to start the season away from home, playing its first seven matches away from the UNM Soccer Complex.
The Lobos and Red Raiders were evenly matched through the first 58 minutes of the game before Texas Tech scored two unanswered goals. Shortly after, the Lobos' own Maddie Irwin scored her first, and so far only, goal of the season, cutting the lead to 2-1.
