A stalwart defensive effort headed by Karlee Maes and one standout save from Alli Davis was enough to give host New Mexico a scoreless draw with San Diego State on Thursday and a share of the Mountain West regular season championship.
The decision ensures the Lobos will have an opening-round bye and the second seed in the upcoming conference championship that starts here on Sunday.
The Lobos (7-3-8, 5-1-5 MWC) finished the season with a six-game unbeaten streak and a fifth-straight shutout – their longest such run since 2012.
Maes, charged with shadowing Aztecs star forward Denise Castro, was on form throughout the match.
