Here come the Lobos

For the second-straight NCAA Tournament match, the University of New Mexico Lobos (13-5-2) showed that good things happen to those who wait. After failing to find the back of the net in the first half, New Mexico scored twice within four minutes in the second half to defeat the Penn State Nittany Lions (13-6-2) in the Sweet 16 of the 2013 NCAA Tournament. The pair of goals, scored by Riley McGovern and Oniel Fisher, were both assisted by Michael Calderon. The victory on Sunday night sends Coach Fishbein and the Lobos to their second Elite Eight appearance ever.

“It was a pretty complete performance by our guys. We went into that game really well prepared with Paul Soudersspending a lot of time on the scout. They’re good at playing to their strengths, and I thought we matched up well with them. Penn State is a team that was very comfortable defending with a couple of dangerous attacking players. I thought our team did a great job of neutralizing those attacking guys.” – Lobos Head Coach Jeremy Fishbein on Penn State match
