Lobos Brew 11/20: All Bark, No Bite

Today, it's Victory Monday!

Good morning! Saturday was pretty fun, wasn’t it? Check out the locker room after the win at Fresno State!

What else is steeping in today’s Brew?

🏈 Victory Monday
🎽 National runner-up
​🐺 And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Bullied The Bulldogs. The Lobos won in Fresno for the first time since 1994! They completely shut down the Bulldogs in the second half, out-gaining them 262-63 and outscoring them 13-3. Caleb Medford had a career-high six receptions and 122 yards. Jacory Croskey-Merritt had his third 100-yard rushing game this season, rushing for a career-high 204 yards. He also added his 17th-overall touchdown. Donte Martin tied Glover Quin for the school record with 31 career pass-breakups. The final score was 25-17 as the Lobos jumped back into the win column.

🔼 Vegas Vacation. Two Lobo teams are going to be in Las Vegas, Nevada this week! The volleyball team will be at the Mountain West Tournament and the men’s basketball team will be playing in the Ball Dawgs Classic at the Dollar Loan Center. It’s Thanksgiving week, which seems like a perfect excuse to head to Nevada and support the Lobos! You can get tickets to the Ball Dawgs Classic here.

🔼  Have A Year, Habtom. The men’s cross country team finished in 18th-place in the NCAA Championship race, but Habtom Samuel was the national runner-up! He was joined by Evans Kiplagat and Nicola Jansen as All-Americans. This is the first time the New Mexico men have come away with multiple All-Americans since 2004. Evans finished in 33rd and Nicola finished 36th in the women’s race. Her finish marks the 12th-straight season that a Lobo women's runner has earned All-American honors.

🐺 ONE BIG THING

The Lobo volleyball team finished the regular season with a 10-8 conference record. They finished fourth in the conference, their best finish since 2015! The Lobos now head to their third-straight Mountain West Tournament as the 6-seed. They’ll take on 3-seeded UNLV on Wednesday in Las Vegas. The Rebels are a familiar foe to the Lobos, they swept UNLV in the regular season series.
