DENVER, April 15 -- The University of New Mexico issued the following news release:
The University of New Mexico men's soccer team gave up two goals in the first half and lost 2-0, to the Colorado Rapids at Dick Sporting Goods Park today. The Lobos shutdown the Rapid attack in the second half and didn't allow a goal. The exhibition wraps up the Lobos spring play who finished 3-0-2 against collegiate competition.
'This was a great experience,' said head coach Jeremy Fishbein. 'We went out tentative and got caught a little bit in the first half. We had a lot chances in the second half once we got our confidence back. Everyone got to play against top competition and we held our own. That's what the spring is for, so we can evaluate and prepare for the fall.'
The Lobos roster was back to full strength after being striken by the Flu this past weekend. Seniors Justin Davis and Stephen Brown and sophomore Michael Green created havoc on the Rapid defense and created several scoring chances. The defensive backline anchored by senior Simon Ejdemyr thwarted several attacks by the Rapids and were able to hold them scoreless in the second half.For more information please contact: Sarabjit Jagirdar, Email:- htsyndication@hindustantimes.com.
