The New Mexico men’s soccer team scored three times in the last 40 minutes to beat UAB 3-2 to capture its first Conference USA win of the season.
The Lobos (7-4-2, 1-3-0) got two goals and an assist from freshman Francesco Casucci.
“We always have confidence (no matter the score),” Casucci said. “This was a great win tonight.”
Sophomore Sam Gleadle had the game-winning goal in the 72nd minute.
“What we said at halftime was we’re going to score three in the second half,” UNM coach Jeremy Fishbein said. “I didn’t think it would be 3-2 – I was hoping it’d be 3-1 – but we played well, figured things out, got the ball moving and got two great goals from Francesco and that third one from Sam.
