Moments of Enchant
New Mexico vs San Jose St.

traveled out to California for a 2-game road trip. Thursday evening, they faced San Jose St. If you missed this one live, it’s one to go back and watch on the Mountain West Network if you’re a Lobo fan. Chris Walker breaks it down in this minute clip.

Ale Puerto leads all Lobos with 7 goals. She’s hasn’t started 1 game, but instead eats up minutes coming off the bench. Well, now we arrive at our big question:

Does Heather Dyche start her or continue subbing her in off the bench. She went to her two distinct times in the match:
1) to pick up productivity - she scored and Nicole Anderson got more service (12 shots)
2) to get a game-winner - the last 9 minutes was strictly about getting the result. Her best chance was with Ale and Nicole in at the same time.
