UNLV
Bill Ireland won his first against Saint Mary’s, but I think that was before the Gaels started recruiting all those 6-foot-10-inch power forwards from New Zealand.
The bad news for UNLV is it won’t be able to face New Mexico again until next season.
HOW THEY SCORED
Maybe New Mexico will again provide the relief UNLV so desperately needs. The winless Lobos were just the tonic last season when the Rebels visited New Mexico and ended a streak of four straight losses — three by at least 20 points – with a 34-17 victory.
Ashleigh Shoughro scored her team-leading eighth and ninth goals of the season, and three other Rebels added a goal each as the UNLV women’s soccer team blanked Virginia Military Institute 5-0 in the Air Force Invitational in Air Force Academy, Colo., on Friday.
When New Mexico took the field at Texas A&M to open the 2009 football season and usher in the Mike Locksley era, Lobos followers were optimistic.
It would have been much easier with one of those fancy motorized machines that can lay up to 2,000 square meters of turf per day without one worker breaking a sweat.
Matt Murphy has been an integral part of UNLV’s offensive line since his first season, when he earned freshman All-America honors.
