Good morning! It’s been a long, hot summer but the soccer team got to have some fun in the sun this weekend. Check out the slip ‘n slide and spike ball action before getting the regular season started. They work hard to play hard!

What all is steeping in today’s Brew?

🏈 Practice makes perfect
⚽️ Lobos stay home
​🐺 And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Mic’d Up With 99. Redshirt-junior defensive end Gabriel Lopez was mic’d up in camp this week. He was consistently a problem in the backfield and stuffing runs in Saturday’s scrimmage. This will be his first season as a Lobo, he transferred to New Mexico after three years at Washington State where he appeared in 11 games.

🔼 Practice Makes Perfect. The Lobos had a scrimmage on Saturday that included some big offensive plays and big hits. Christian Ellis broke up some passes and had some strips. Christian Washington had a 60+ yard run to set up a touchdown. Caleb Medford made a big toe-tapping catch before catching a touchdown of his own. Aaron Rodriguez proved why he’s on the Ray Guy watchlist, hitting punts over 65 yards consistently. It was a great day of work for the ‘Bos!
