🔼  Dress Rehearsal. The Lobo Spring Football Game is here! Come out to University Stadium tomorrow at 1 pm to get your first look at Bronco Mendenhall’s Lobo football team after four weeks of practice. The game will put the number one offense against the number one defense, and the number two offense against the number two defense. The weather should be beautiful and there are plenty of things to do for the whole family.

🔼 Top Five Lobos. The women’s golf team finished the Mountain West Championship in fourth-place at 4-over. Lauren Lehigh was the top dog for the Lobos, finishing in second-place individually at 6-under. It was her third top-three finish at the tournament. Myah McDonald wasn’t too far behind, she finished tied for fifth at 2-under. NCAA Regionals will be announced on Wednesday at noon.

🔼 Crunch Time. The women’s tennis team is looking to etch their name in Lobo history this morning. They’re playing at Air Force at 11 am and a win would clinch a share of the Lobos’ first regular season Mountain West title. New Mexico is guaranteed a top two seed in the conference tournament. A 19-2 start to the season would equal the programs’ best 21-game start in the record books.

🔼 Trekking North. The baseball team is also spending the weekend at Air Force for a three-game conference series against the second-place Falcons. The Lobos started the week strong with a win over CSU-Pueblo. Jake Holland leads the conference in home runs, RBI, and batting average. Today’s series opener is slated for 3 pm. All three games will stream on the Mountain West Network.

Fun-fact: Air Force’s Erdle Field is the only Mountain West venue at a higher elevation than Santa Ana Star Field.

🔼 Let’s Have Some Fun. Lobo softball is hosting a fun-filled weekend at Lobo Softball Field as they welcome Utah State. They’ll start things off tonight at 6 pm with the Lobos Love Pink game, so wear all the pink you own! Tomorrow, bring out your pups to the park and get a Lobo bandana. It’s also Alumni Day as we recognize former Lobos who paved the way. Andrea Howard and Cassandra Abdulaziz will be throwing the first pitch. Cassandra’s Lobo legacy lives on through her daughter and current Lobo, Keyannah Chavez.

  • Friday: Lobos Love Pink game

  • Saturday: Bark in the Park and Alumni Day
