After two successful weekends at home, the UNM men’s soccer team is back on the road this week.
The Lobos (4-2) will travel to California to play the UC Irvine Anteaters, a team New Mexico hasn’t faced since 2012.
The last time UNM played UC Irvine was in Albuquerque in the fall of 2012. The Lobos managed to get a 2-1 victory, but only after a late game-tying goal by the Anteaters forced the match to go into double overtime.
That season ended with both programs going in opposite directions. UC Irvine finished that season with a 5-14-1 record, while New Mexico went 15-2 overall and made it to the third round of the NCAA Tournament.
