The UNM men’s soccer team is back on the road this week in hopes of a more successful weekend.
The Lobos, who have won only one conference match so far in 2016, fell 2-1 to the Charlotte 49ers on Saturday. Charlotte, ranked No. 17 at the time, scored both of its goals against New Mexico from penalty kicks during the first half of the match.
The Lobos’ lone goal came in the 56th minute courtesy of senior defender Niko Hansen after receiving a through ball by midfielder Devin Boyce.
The loss against Charlotte was painful for the Lobos in a few different ways.
