An overtime goal in the 98th minute by Portland midfielder Collen Warner sent the Lobos and an enormous crowd home disappointed, and Portland moved on to the next round 2-1. “This hurts,” said head coach Jeremy Fishbein, whose team finished 12-7-1 overall.

Locksley’s mother, Venita Locksley, a fighter, survived breast cancer.

And why not, when it plays such lyrical prose, such melodic, sweet-sounding music? If the head coaching gig doesn’t work out, Mike Locksley should consider becoming a motivational speaker. To his credit, if there’s one thing Locksley and his players have learned how to do over the course of this season, it’s to linguistically sweeten the tart. So much so, in fact, that should the Lobos go 0-12, Locksley, please mull over giving the eulogy at UNM’s season-ending memorial service. Figuratively, Locksley was planning on winning a game this year.

All 10 slots open for the undergraduate student government were filled by the BAM! slate, which is rare, said Travis Maestas, who ran on the Bridge slate.

Many of the details haven’t been worked out yet, according to the SUB administration, but the new IDs are slated to be issued in late spring. Walt Miller, associate vice president for Student Life, said students’ Social Security numbers are programmed in the barcodes of Lobo IDs, but the new Lobo IDs will hold another UNM-issued identification number instead. With the new cards, Student Life also hopes to make LoboCash available at venues off campus, said Chelsea Stallings, ASUNM senator and voting member of the SUB board. These venues will include nearby restaurants such as Frontier and Saggio’s, the parking structure on campus and concession stands at University Stadium and The Pit.

Starting in the spring, Information Technologies is imposing a limit on the number of sheets of paper students can print. The printing quota restriction is an effort to reduce waste on campus and discourage students from excessive printing, said IT Director Moira Gerety.

The Cowgirls tired out the Lobos in the semifinals of the preseason Women’s National Invitational Tournament at The Pit, 70-56, putting the Lobos 2-1 in the season. “We played a good first half, but in the second half we couldn’t shoot,” said head coach Don Flanagan.
