Huge win for the Lady Danes. The Danes finish 2-1 on the tourney, pretty respectable. UNM, though picked 7th, plays in the Moutain West Conference, one of the better national conferences (they placed three teams in the NCAA's).

 

Great win, great recruiting tool. Keep it up ladies.

Field Hockey beats Rhode Island 2-1, second win in a row. One victory over Rams down, one to go tonight.

Whoa...that is a pretty big win. I know Rhode Island as a state is ridonkulous in field hockey!

Dane96, you are correct. This is a grrreat win for the team. I've sneaked in the PE gym a couple of times to watch their practices. They are very good. New Mexico is a big school, from a big conference, with a big budget. The win over George Washington is also a very good one. There's obviously been a big increase in scheduling for the team this year. Tuesday night is the first home game and it's against Seton Hall. A Big East team coming on campus! I'LL BE THERE!!! This weekend the go to play Top 20 ranked Arizona, Temple, and American. Looking at the box scores, it looks like Goldman has really improved and taken on a bigger role this year. It also looks like Rodriguez's serve has finally made an impact in the match against New Mexico.

Grrreat Dane, I was actually referring to Field Hockey as a big win (the state is so good in FH that they have men's teams). The volleyball win is akin to the baseball team beating Missouri; a recruiting tool and a good feeling for the ladies. They had some tough games against some tough teams (Ball State IS volleyball) coming into this weekend.

 

Very astute analysis BTW regarding Rodriquez' serve. Hadn't heard much from her and I was wondering if the youngins are getting very good and overshadowing her serves, or she was just off to start the year. Looks like she is back on track.

 

Please report back on the Seton Hall match!
