🔼 Open The Gates. It’s been a long, hot summer but the time has finally come. It’s time for Lobo football! The Lobos are traveling to College Station to play the No. 23/25 Texas A&M Aggies in what’s expected to be a sold out stadium. Kyle Field holds 102,733 fans, which would be the largest crowd to watch a Lobo football game. Coach Gonzales is excited to get another shot at Texas A&M. We’re excited to see a new offense under OC Bryant Vincent and quarterback Dylan Hopkins. Kickoff is at 5:05 MT and you can watch live on ESPN.

🔼 Hit The Ground Running. The cross country season starts tomorrow at the Lori Fitzgerald Open at New Mexico State. This will be the first competition under new head coach Darren Gauson. The Lobo women were ranked No. 21 nationally this week and No. 4 in the Mountain Region. The men’s team came in at No. 9 in the region. The women’s 5k race will begin at 7:30am and the men’s will start at 8:00am.

🔼 Brynnin’. The Lobo soccer team got their second win of the season and extended the unbeaten streak to 12. Thanks to a PK by Brynn Boeyink, the ‘Bos beat San Diego on the road 1-0.

🔼 Running The Road. New Mexico volleyball got the first win of the weekend at the Lobo Invitational last night. The Lobos beat Cal State Bakersfield 3-1. The Roadrunners took the first set, but that’s all she wrote — New Mexico won three in-a-row for the win. Elizabeth Woods was huge with 8 kills, 2 solo blocks, and 9 block assists. Uxue Guereca had 15 kills and a .343 hitting percentage while Kaitlynn Biassou had 4 aces. The Lobos will continue the weekend with games against St. Johns and Utah Tech.
