COLLEGE STATION, Texas The University of New Mexico refused to go quietly into the night. The Lobos didn’t survive, but the served notice that they were in the NCAA Tournament for a reason, and the squad gave the No. 8 team in the nation all it could handle. The Lobos picked up their first NCAA Tournament point since 1998 and stayed right with the No. 8 Texas A&M Aggies before falling 4-1. UNM ended its season at 8-10 overall, and the squad went 0-6 against nationally-ranked opponents.
The Lobos had their moments against Texas A&M, and weren’t all that far from a total shocker. Well a shocker to the rest of the tennis world, but for UNM, which lost 4-3 to a pair of ranked opponents and 4-2 to three others with all five of those potentially wins for UNM, it would have been a little justification.
