The Lobos kicked off the ACHA National Championships with the thrill of an overtime victory on Tuesday, but the New Mexico hockey team felt the other end of the spectrum in a lop-sided loss just one day later.
After one day of play, New Mexico and Quinnipiac sat atop the standings in Pool B after the Lobos pulled out a 5-4 overtime win over Central Florida and the Braves notched a 3-2 upset victory over No. 1 Michigan State.
On Wednesday, Quinnipiac proved Tuesday's win over the prohibitive favorite was no fluke — skating to an 11-3 win over New Mexico.
