The Lobos began their Mountain West Conference bid with a narrow loss to Fresno State and a decisive victory over the Nevada Wolfpack.
Despite coming away with a split, the Lobos seemed encouraged by the performances over the weekend.
The Lobos (8-10, 1-1 MW) played their first Conference match against Fresno State (12-10, 2-0 MW) at home. The Bulldogs beat UNM earlier in the season in a comprehensive 4-1 victory, but this time around, the Lobos made it much more difficult for the Bulldogs.
UNM asserted its presence early on, as the doubles pair of junior Bart Van Leijsen and freshman Dominic West won 6-4 at the No.
