The day was hot, but not excessively so. The ever-so-slight breeze was an added perk. And both of those made for a perfect day of soccer for the UNM women’s soccer team.
Attacking early and often, New Mexico (2-1-0) found itself dominating in a one-sided affair on Sunday afternoon, defeating the visiting Idaho State Bengals (0-2-0), 5-0 in front of a welcoming crowd of UNM fans.
It was also the team’s second win in three days after they defeated Pacific 4-2 in its home opener on Friday evening.
“I think the score line is obviously something we’re happy about,” UNM head coach Heather Dyche said, when asked if she was happy with her team’s performance on Sunday.
