BOISE, Idaho — After her team’s stirring semifinal win Thursday in the Mountain West Conference soccer tournament, UNM coach Heather Dyche said on golobos.com that she would welcome a matchup with Boise State in Saturday’s final, given the accompanying atmosphere the host school would bring.
Dyche got her wish, careful or not.
The top-seeded Lobos (13-4-2) take on the sixth seed Boise State (11-6-4) in Saturday’s final with the tournament championship and accompanying automatic NCAA bid on the line.
“Any time you’re playing a team on their home field – we lost to San Jose doing that a couple of years ago in the finals – you have to have a little bit of magic and you have to be able to get lucky,” Dyche said.
