It’s a big week for the UNM men’s soccer team.
The Lobos, who are now riding a 5-game winning streak, are preparing to begin conference play. After last weekend’s 3-1 victory over UC Irvine, the Lobos have more than one reason to start with confidence.
Senior forward Niko Hansen was named Player of the Week by College Sports News as a result of the hat trick he recorded against UC Irvine.
Hansen was also nominated for NCAA men’s soccer Player of the Week honors, finishing in second place in the poll. A new nomination was announced on Tuesday, this time for D1 Men’s Soccer HERO of the Week.
