For the third time this season, mistakes in the 18-yard box haunted the UNM men’s soccer team.
The Lobos fell 2-1 to Charlotte on Saturday night after two first-half penalties by the 49ers.
This type of situation is nothing new for the Lobos, who dropped their first two matches of the 2016 fall season 1-0 due to penalty kicks.
With the loss, New Mexico is now 7-4 overall and 1-2 in Conference USA. Charlotte improved to 7-2 overall and 3-1 in conference.
Prior to Saturday’s loss, the Lobos had not allowed opponents more than one goal in a single match this season.
