Alford denies Mizzou rumor Final Four coaches said Alford to take new coaching job with doubled salary by Ryan Tomari and Isaac Avilucea sports@dailylobo.com
UNM head coach Steve Alford, who in the past hinted that his UNM stay was contingent on continued administrative support, denied reports that he may leave UNM to fill Missouri’s head coaching vacancy. But a potential administrative shakeup could be the falling domino to compel him to renege on his multi-year contract extension.
The Alford-to-Mizzou rumor, first reported midday Saturday on the Albuquerque Journal’s website, pegged the Lobos’ coach as a top candidate to replace former coach Mike Anderson, who resigned in mid-March. Three coaches who were at the Final Four told the Journal that Alford had already accepted the position, and UNM assistant coach Craig Neal would replace Alford at UNM. Two current and two former UNM basketball players told the Daily Lobo over the weekend that
they hadn’t heard the rumor before the Journal published its report online. Another source close to the program said he is certain that Alford, who signed an extension in July, won’t leave the program to take the Missouri position. Still, in his time at UNM, Alford’s name has consistently popped up on the coaching carousel. The rumor picked up more steam Saturday night, with a St. Louis television station reporting

More than 300 people celebrated labor activist Cesar Chavez’s efforts Saturday. Supporters marched through the downtown Barelas neighborhood to the National Hispanic Cultural Center. More than 100 people stayed to enjoy live music and dance performances in Chavez’s honor at the NHCC. “He was more than an advocate for farmworkers,” UNM student and attendee Mary Silva said. “He gave all working people the strength to stand up for fair working conditions, fair wages — and that resonates to all areas where inequality exists. It empowers people to do something about inequality.” In 1963, Chavez founded the National Farm Workers Association, which would later become the United Farm Workers. Chavez spent most of his adult life advocating for farmworkers. He famously survived two hunger protests — one that lasted 25 days and another that lasted 36 days — and used media to promote justice. Chavez has a long-standing legacy as one of the most famous labor organizers in U.S. history. He not only made working conditions safer for farmworkers, but he helped enact collective bargaining agreements that gave workers a strong voice when negotiating with
land owners. Co-founder of the UFW, Dolores Huerta, was the keynote speaker at Saturday’s local event. In her speech, she touched on her time organizing with Chavez. “Everybody got involved in terms of politics, so we were supposed to be of service to others,” she said. “You’re not supposed to want to get any sort of recompense when you help people. You do it because they need help.” She said that as a teacher, she became aware about the struggles workers faced.
“It empowers people to do something about inequality.” ~Student Mary Silva “I was teaching school and seeing a lot of children in my classroom who were children of farmworkers,” she said. “They would come to school in their raggedy shoes and their little bones sticking out of their T-shirts. I was really upset about that.” A month before her orientation to

Wind fans f lames into houses, barns Associated Press Four homes and several barns were damaged Sunday in a winddriven grass fire that also forced the evacuation of Ruidoso Downs Racetrack and Casino and several neighborhoods in the community of Ruidoso Downs, authorities said. Residents were evacuated from the Ruidoso Gardens, Spaghetti Flats, River Ranch and Homestead Acres neighborhoods. Others were asked earlier to voluntarily leave their homes. State Forestry Division spokesman Dan Ware confirmed the damage but said he did not know the locations of the homes. He did not know how many people had been evacuated. The barns that burned were east of Ruidoso Downs track, which is home to the All-American Futurity, often called the richest event in quarter horse racing. Last year’s winner earned $1 million. A small stretch of U.S. 70 on the eastern edge of Ruidoso Downs was closed after flames jumped the highway from the fire, which officials say changed direction several times. The fire was estimated at 1,000 to 2,000 acres. The cause of the blaze was not immediately known. It began hours
earlier in Ruidoso’s Gavilan Canyon in southern New Mexico on private, state and U.S. Forest Service land. Gavilan Canyon has been shut down. In central New Mexico, firefighters made progress against another wind-driven wildfire that prompted the evacuation of 50 people from a ranch for underprivileged children, Ware said. That fire grew to about 2,000 acres, he said. A fire information officer, Vicky Fox, said crews would remain on the fire lines overnight. Conditions were “blowing, smoky, dusty, very, very dry,” she said. No structures have burned, Fox said. Strong wind, as well as critical-toextreme fire weather conditions, was forecast in the area, which is more than 60 miles south of Albuquerque. The New Mexico Boys Ranch was evacuated Saturday, and authorities asked some residents in the area to voluntarily leave. “Some homes were a little too close for comfort as far as the flames go,” he said. That fire burned through heavy stands of salt cedar, cottonwood, brush and grass. It was spotted Saturday at Bernardo near the Sevilleta Wildlife Refuge. Ranch administrator Larry Couch said heavy smoke forced residents and staff to leave.

Michael Thorning, New Day Slate Daily Lobo: What is your campaign focused on? Michael Thorning: We want to start a new era where we ask, “How are we reinvesting in students?” We want to make people more competitive in the job market. It’s a studentfocused approach. DL: What are some platforms you and your slate are promoting? MT: Competitiveness — One of the important things going forward will be (how) American Campus Communities becomes as part of the community. We want to make decisions that are good for students, not just students who will be living in the ACC property, but also students here. Another part of competitiveness is tuition. Anyone running this year will tell you tuition needs to be kept low. We will work with administration to advocate for no increases in tuition. We want them to give us a forecasting plan. Students should be able to know what their tuition will cost them in year four. Wellness — … It’s incumbent upon the University to institute a safe-ride program. It’s something that NMSU provides. It’s something that a number of different peer institutions provide. I don’t want students to have to be in that position of driving drunk.

MT: The most important argument, and the one it can’t give up on, is that, yeah, it’s tough for the University, but it’s tougher on students. We need to be solving this issue now for students.

riders last month than in any previous March. Spokeswoman Augusta Meyers says the 15 percent increase in passengers last month over March 2010 probably was linked to higher gasoline prices. Meyers expects ridership to remain higher than normal as long as gas prices are high.

DL: What about your involvement at UNM in the past makes you qualified for ASUNM president? MT: I have had the honor of serving on student-housing advisement. I serve on the Student Publications Board. I served on the Student Fee Review Board. It takes patience and negotiation. I’ve served as ASUNM Chief of Staff, so I was there alongside making decisions. I’ve been lobbying in Santa Fe and in front of the Board of Regents. I’m currently the president of the SUB Board. My career, other than my education, has been about serving students. DL: What are you going to do to improve communications and relations with GPSA? MT: I’ve been one of the people who have been at the forefront of ASUNM/GPSA relations in this past year. We had some rough patches with them at the SFRB and a number of different issues on campus. I served as that go-between, the person who would meet diplomatically with GPSA. And if you asked them at GPSA, they would tell you I’ve always been willing to talk to them. Good policy is not about winning what you want; it’s about everyone leaving at the end of the day happy. It takes compromise. ~Hunter Riley
In the final quarter of 2010, ridership was down compared with the final three months of 2009. Officials have said that decline was largely due to fewer trains offered on Saturdays.

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — The United Nations mission in Ivory Coast began moving some 200 employees out of the main city Sunday after repeated attacks on its headquarters, as fighters loyal to the internationally recognized president prepared for a battle to oust the incumbent leader.
Rally
Sporadic gunfire rang out in central Abidjan on Sunday, and residents for the most part kept in their homes. Residents of the commercial capital have been restricted to their homes since forces supporting president Alassane Ouattara began their assault of Abidjan on Thursday. Electricity has been cut intermittently and the water was shut off citywide Sunday morning, though a few women could be seen on the street filling basins with water from the lagoon.
“There is an in-country relocation of some 200 of our staff in order to ensure their safety in the currently challenging security environment. There are no plans to evacuate them from the country,� said Nicholas Birnback, a spokesman for the U.N. Peacekeeping Department. A U.N. employee said they were taken by helicopter from the U.N. base in downtown Abidjan to the airport. Another helicopter will take them from there to the northern city of Bouake.
boycott that resulted in a collective bargaining agreement between grape workers and farmers. She was also involved in legislation to protect workers. This included a law that allowed California drivers to take their driver’s license test in Spanish and a federal bill that ended the Bracero Program, which imported Mexican workers as farm hands for very little pay. Huerta was on the stage when Robert F. Kennedy was shot and killed in 1968 at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, Calif. She said she was invited to stand next to the presidential
candidate after organizing Latino voters, which propelled Kennedy to win the state’s primary election. She did all this while a member of UFW and worked alongside Chavez in many of her efforts. Student Jonathan Paiz said Huerta’s story was influential. “It was amazing to hear her story,â€? Paiz said. “Her accomplishments are fantastic, and the fact she continues to organize show how ‌ the work of people like her and Cesar Chavez is a longstanding legacy.â€?

become a full-time teacher, Huerta decided to quit her profession and organize for farmworkers, despite having seven children. “So here I am going to go start organizing farmworkers for no money,� she said. “So many ways I thought, ‘This was such a foolish thing to do.

that Alford and Minnesota’s Tubby Smith interviewed for the Missouri job. Saying he isn’t a “big rumor guy,� Alford, who was in Houston with his son for the Final Four when the story broke, denied in a statement that he interviewed for the job, or that his agent contacted Missouri brass. “I find it disheartening that I have to take my time at the Final Four dealing with false rumors instead of watching a great college basketball game,� he said. Around the same time last year, following the Lobos’ record-breaking 30-5 run that included a NCAA tournament appearance, Oregon was reportedly interested in luring Alford from his UNM post. Like he has continued to do, Alford denied interest in that gig, but qualified under which terms he’d continue to coach at the University of New Mexico. “As long as I know that Dr. Schmidly and Paul Krebs are locked in here,� Alford said last March, “That’s the most important thing to me. If I didn’t have the right pieces put together from an administration standpoint, it’d be a lot more enticing to look.� If not this year, it might be more enticing for Alford to leave next year — or in the near future — while
his stock is still high. More to the point, it’s not clear what Schmidly and Krebs’ futures are with the University. Schmidly’s contract expires June 2012, spokeswoman Susan McKinsey said Sunday. She added that it’s up to the regents to decide whether to offer an extension. Schmidly spent the fall semester on leave as he dealt with health problems, but has since resumed presidential duties without any hiccups. UNM Sports Director Frank Mercogliano said in a text that Krebs’ contract is up in two years. Mercogliano said he had “no clue� whether Schmidly had sat down with Krebs to discuss a possible extension, and he didn’t say whether the parties would sit down in the immediate future. When agreeing to a contract extension, the University added a buyout clause to Alford’s contract. Under the terms of his first deal, he didn’t have one. The renegotiated terms call for Alford to pay the University $300,000 if he terminates his deal after April 1 but before March 31, 2012. The buyout drops to $200,000 if Alford leaves after March 31, 2012, but before March 31, 2013, the contract says. UNM did its part to dispel the rumors, but they floated wildly around the Internet.
Yahoo.com’s Jason King posted the following Saturday on Twitter: “Take it for what its worth but there was lots of buzz @ the Final 4 coaches hotel 2day about mutual interested between Steve Alford & Mizzou.� The Journal reported that Missouri Athletics Director Mike Alden, a UNM associate athletics director from 1992-96, targeted Alford after Purdue coach Matt Painter turned down an offer from the school. The word in Houston was that Alden was prepared to offer UNM’s fourth-year head coach more than $2 million a year, about double his UNM salary. Alden, according to the Journal, interviewed Alford for Missouri’s vacancy in 2006 but the school instead hired Anderson. The Daily Lobo e-mailed Alden to verify the substance of the reports and got an automated message that said he was out of the office and didn’t have access to e-mails. In 16 years as a head coach, Alford has compiled a record of 406222, with five NCAA tournament appearances. Alford has led the Lobos to four straight postseason appearances and averaged 24 wins per season. Shaun Griswold and Chelsea Erven contributed to this report.

LETTER Alleged 9/11 mastermind just more smoke and mirrors Editor, The saying, “Things are not always what they seem” is most appropriate when speaking about the US government’s so-called War On Terror. Anwar al-Awlaki has been presented to the world as the new face of Al-Qaeda. The government claims that al-Awlaki had connections to the alleged 9-11 hijackers, was the mastermind behind the Ft. Hood shootings and inspired the failed Christmas Day airline bombing. However, what has largely been swept under the rug is the FBI report which states that al-Awlaki had lunch with top military officials at the Pentagon weeks after 9-11. Now why would a top Al-Qaeda leader be a guest of honor at the Pentagon? Isn’t Al-Qaeda supposed to be the sworn enemy of the US? When we remember that 9-11 was an inside job, then this scenario stops being so strange. Al-Qaeda is a creation of the US government and Al-Awlaki is handler for the CIA recruiting fanatics and the mentally ill. Al-Awlaki’s presence in Yemen is being used as an excuse to launch further wars in the Middle East and destablize governments. Things are not always what they seem, and remember that the so-called War On Terror is nothing but a homicidal farce Muhajir Romero UNM student

COLUMN
Life spent in service is well spent by Danny Hernandez
Daily Lobo Guest Columnist If there isn’t a God, then Saturday was full of coincidences that boiled down to one succinct message: Life should be lived striving hard to make a difference for others’ betterment. Reporter Shaun Griswold’s call about Bea Meiers came shortly after I learned she had died. I really didn’t want to be quoted talking about someone who others knew better, so I gave him her friends’ numbers, but he put me on the record anyway. I started writing this column to set the record straight. I cared about Bea because Bea cared mightily about issues dear to me — and because she was kind and freely shared her wisdom. But I didn’t know Bea well. She was quiet about her private life. What I did know was that she worked tirelessly for those in need. Everyone in local politics held her in high regard. She always had a well-thought-out, zealous opinion on political matters, and she was awfully proud of her two grown boys. All the speakers at her service seemed to echo what little I knew about Bea. Her priest even joked about how she never had a political opinion. The congregation broke out in laughter. He also stressed that Bea continued to work to help others while on her death bed. After the Mass, I headed late to the Recuerda a César Chávez event. I intercepted the marchers deep into Barelas and joined toward the front of the march next to an old friend I hadn’t seen in years. Coralee Quintana was marching with her

aunt Dolores, whom I’d met a few times. While we marched, Coralee and I did some catching up. She moved to Las Vegas where she continued to work with babies in need. This surprised me because last time we talked, she had finished her MBA and was getting ready to kick off a clothing line. I asked and she told me she still might do that, but advocating for children had to come first. I became uncharacteristically pensive and quiet for the next block or so. Her beautiful octogenarian aunt marched between us. Suddenly I blurted out, “I just came from a funeral of a friend who lived a life of community service. I can’t stop thinking that life has to be about making the world a better place.” At which point, the diminutive civil rights leader who’d been quietly walking between us took my hand in her tiny velvety-soft hands and said simply, “Yes, that’s right.” At the end of the march, we celebrated César Chávez’s life. I made the rounds. Some knew, but many asked ‘why the black suit?’ I told them about Bea Meiers, how she’d spent her life doing work for others and how I wish I had spent more time getting to know her. My friend Terry Schleder, who I met while she advocated for better health services for others, didn’t know Bea even though I know they ran in some of the same circles. I said I was surprised they’d never met. Terry then said something that others later echoed: For every César and Dolores,

there are hundreds of unsung heroes who also spend their lives making others’ lives better. I looked around and noticed the dozens of selfless community members who have and will continue to spend their lives working to make a difference — some wellknown, and others not so much. One caught my ear. He called out my name, and at first, I didn’t recognize the half-paralyzed man in the motorized wheelchair. I had to ask his name. He told me and then told the story of suffering a debilitating heart attack while touring rural India last year. He got back into the country late last fall. As with Coralee, I hadn’t seen Michael Morris in quite some time. Most people wouldn’t recognize Michael’s name any more than they do Bea’s, Terry’s or Coralee’s, but he, too, has spent his life serving others. At UNM, he headed the Community Services Learning Program. He’s also known for raising millions to serve impoverished rural communities and introducing young people to service in those communities. He is physically debilitated and needs 24/7 care, but Michael still spent most of our time together selling me on his next community service project. What I heard clearly from a priest, wise Latinas, civic leaders, Americore students and other community members is that what’s important is that you leave behind a world better than the one you were born into. Bea did that. The rest of us would do well to emulate her. We’ll miss you Bea!

No Jews for restored synagogue by Vanessa Gera Associated Press
ZAMOSC, Poland — Seventy-two years after the Nazis arrived, the Polish town of Zamosc is getting its synagogue back. One of the most important surviving synagogues in Poland, a Renaissance gem looted by the Nazis and suffering from decades of neglect, is reopening this week after a meticulous restoration, part of an effort to reclaim the country’s decimated Jewish heritage. The refurbishing of the synagogue in Zamosc, an eastern Polish town near the border with Ukraine, comes as Poland’s tiny remaining Jewish community is struggling to preserve some of the most important Jewish sites that survived the Holocaust before they fall into irreversible decay. But in a sign of how thorough Adolf Hitler’s genocide was, there are almost no Jews left in the town. The cream-colored house of prayer will now serve largely as a place for art exhibitions, concerts and other cultural events in the largely Catholic area. “The people, they are gone,� said Michael Schudrich, Poland’s chief rabbi. “But at least in their memory we can do the best to preserve that which remains.� The population of Zamosc, an exquisite Renaissance town recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, was 40 percent Jewish on the eve of World War II. Today, there could be a handful of Jews in the town of 65,000 but nobody really knows for sure, since people here often still hide their Jewish roots, scarred by the trauma of the war and the antiSemitism of the communist era that followed. “(I don’t) know even a single person who will identify publicly as Jew-
Vanessa Gera / AP Photo Photo workers perform final finishing touches to restoration works to the synagogue in Zamosc, Poland on Thursday. The building is one of the most important synagogues to survive the destruction of World War II, a Renaissance gem that was looted by the Nazis and faced decades of neglect after the war. But now it has been restored and will serve as a cultural center for the town of about 65,000 in eastern Poland. ish,� Mayor Marcin Zamoyski said, although he’s aware of one woman born to Jewish parents who gave her to a Catholic family to ensure her survival before they themselves were murdered. The woman learned of her Jewish roots only as an adult and doesn’t even know her original name. The near-absence of Jews today
“brings to light what war and genocide and the Holocaust really mean,� said Monika Krawczyk, CEO of the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland, the Warsaw-based group that oversaw the preservation work. “Although the Jews in Poland today are small in number, the heritage is absolutely huge.�

Lobo Winners!
The UNM track and field team’s venue changed hastily, but it had little effect. The Lobos — after a long, successful indoor season — racked up eight first-place finishes and several personal records over the weekend at the Tailwind Invitational at the track and field complex. Deanna Young, Kendall Spencer, Emma Reed and Shawna Winnegar were among the first-place finishers. Young took the women’s long jump event. Spencer hit 7.55 meters, good for first place in the men’s long jump, in his first competition since returning from a nagging hamstring injury. “I was actually really glad to get out there and compete again,” he said. “I’ve been kind of out of the game for a year and a half. Being
able to compete finally after waiting that long is really a blessing.” Reed was first in the 3,000meter steeplechase with a time of 1:31.25, which was a race she never ran before. Winnegar won the women’s 1,500-meter race in photo-finish fashion, edging the second-place finisher by 11-hundreths of a second. Winnegar stayed in the back for a large part of the race, but kicked out the last 400 meters. “I haven’t ran a 15 in a long time,” she said. “It was good to just get a good time in and start the season off right.” Precious Selmon took first place in the women’s 100-meter hurdles, finishing in 13.62, a personal best. Head coach Joe Franklin said Selmon’s performance was “one of the better times in our league, if not the top time in the Mountain West Conference.” Franklin said he was pleased

completed six of 14 passes, rushed for 44 yards and had a rushing and passing touchdown. For most of the game, Austin said, he was comfortable in the pocket because his receivers got open. “I felt pretty calm,” Austin said. “ … Once you put the ball in their hands, it’s like a show. Now you’re in the stands.” Godfrey had more trouble finding receivers but managed to take his team down the field for scores. Godfrey said the quarterback battle was “neck-to-neck.” “It’s like that every day,” he said. “Neither one of us turned the ball over, and that’s what it’s all about.” And the Lobos were all about running the ball. Sophomore tailback DeMarcus
Rogers, a year removed from tearing his ACL, was quicker than anyone on the field. UNM amassed 309 rushing yards, Rogers accounting for 105 yards and three touchdowns. “All spring long, when he gets the ball in his hands, he’s been the guy who’s made plays for us,” Locksley said. Ohio State transfer wide receiver Lamaar Thomas caught two passes for 22 yards, but had a fiveyard touchdown reception. On a screen play, Thomas juked defenders and gained 17 yards. Locksley wants to get more opportunities for Thomas in the future. “Obviously he’s a talent,” Locksley said. “We’ll continue to gameplan and find ways to get him in-
volved in our offense.” The Cherry-Silver football game is two weeks away, but Locksley said his players need to come out of spring ball with a better understanding of the game. “Our goal is to get every individual player better fundamentally,” he said. “We’ve got to use the next eight practices to do that.”

NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP
Underdogs take on alpha males Associated Press One team is a longtime national powerhouse. The other is an upstart that nonetheless played for a title a year ago. Now, at the end of a tournament filled with upsets and unexpected twists, these two teams — Connecticut and Butler — will face each other Monday night for the NCAA men’s national basketball championship. Butler’s 70-62 win over VCU and Connecticut’s 56-55 victory over Kentucky set up Monday’s intriguing final. Connecticut is a two-time national champion, while Butler returns to the title game for the second straight year, not as lovable underdogs, but as a team intent on making up for last year’s heartbreak. The Bulldogs were defeated by Duke last year for the championship. “We’re not going to settle on just getting back,” said Zach Hahn, who came up big off the bench in Butler’s victory. “I remember the sour taste it left in my mouth last year, and I just think this group, we’re here now and we have a chance. That’s all you can ask.” Shelvin Mack scored 24 points, Hahn scored all eight of his points during a 90-second span in the second half that gave Butler control of the game for good, and the Bulldogs shut down hot-shooting VCU with their trademark unforgiving defense. The eighth-seeded Bulldogs (28-9) are the lowest-seeded team to play for the national title since Villanova won it as a No. 8 seed in 1985. “We’ve just got to be one shot better than last year,” coach Brad Stevens said. VCU (28-12) sure didn’t look like a team critics dismissed as “unworthy” — and a whole lot worse — after it skidded into the NCAA tournament with five losses in its last eight games. But Butler’s stifling defense was too much for the Rams, only the third No. 11 seed to reach the Final Four. “Butler was the aggressor for the majority of the game,” VCU coach Shaka Smart said. “We had our runs.” But not enough of them. Jamie Skeen scored 27 and Bradford Burgess had 15, including three 3-pointers before the game was even seven minutes old. But Stevens is known for his tactical acumen, and this game was no different. He tweaked
DL
Butler’s defense, and Burgess had just one more three the rest of the night. Butler also dominated the boards, out-rebounding VCU 4832. “It’s not one guy making plays,” said Hahn, whose total Saturday was one point less than he’d had in Butler’s previous four tournament games combined. “It’s literally a collective effort; it’s all 14 guys.” Butler’s run last year inspired mid-majors everywhere, including VCU. The Rams had won a grand total of five games in the NCAA tournament before this year, never more than one at a time. Kemba Walker scored 18 points Saturday night to help Connecticut keep its remarkable postseason run going with a 56-55 victory over Kentucky that placed the Huskies one win away from their third, and most improbable, NCAA title. UConn won despite not making a field goal over the final 2:29. Walker also had seven assists, as UConn (31-9) won its 10th game in a row — a string that began with a five-win-in-fivenight leg-drainer at the Big East tournament and now includes five straight in the tournament that really matters. The Huskies haven’t lost since they fell to Notre Dame on Feb. 5, and finished their Big East regular season at 9-9. They locked up this game with good defense and a remarkable cold spell by fourth-seeded Kentucky (29-9), which went 5:39 down the stretch without a point. That turned a 48-48 tie into a 5448 UConn lead and the Huskies barely hung on. Brandon Knight led Kentucky with 17 points, but they came on 6-of-23 shooting. DeAndre Liggins hit a 3-pointer with 1:37 left to get the Wildcats within 5451. Connecticut was last in the Final Four in 2009, the only time in coach Jim Calhoun’s three previous appearances the Huskies didn’t win the national championship. “It’s an amazing feeling,” Walker said. “It’s a little surreal right now, but hopefully we can bring it back to Storrs (CT).” “We’ve got a heck of a challenge on Monday night, but the fact that we’re playing Monday night, that’s beautiful,” Calhoun said.

Opponents blown away in exhibition by Nathan Farmer
sports@dailylobo.com Severe winds didn’t slow down the UNM men’s soccer team. The Lobos notched two exhibition wins Sunday — against Fort Lewis (3-2) and Colorado State-Pueblo (5-0) — at Robertson Field. UNM improved to 3-1-1 record in its spring season. UNM 3 “Soccer is a funny game,” head coach FT. LEWIS 2 Jeremy Fishbein said. “I think (Fort Lewis) had two shots on goal, and they scored twice. I though it should have been at least a 6-1 game.” The Lobos employed a different look than they did last year, with attackers Michael Green and Michael Kafari dropping
to center midfield and Lance Rozeboom anchoring the back line. The position change did not seem to affect Green, and in the first 10 minutes, he scored to give the Lobos their first lead against Fort Lewis. Green said he moved to center-mid to get more scoring opportunities. “It’s definitely different,” he said. “The plan is to get me more on the ball. It’s a lot different than playing up top, and you have more time and a little more space, but the mistakes are a little more costly.” UNM dominated, and in the 37th minute, made it 2-0 when midfielder Blake Smith dribbled past two players and slotted it home. Smith sat most of the 2010 season because of a broken collarbone he suffered in a preseason game against Fort Lewis last fall. He said it was good to score against them.
LOBO FOOTBALL
Sparks of life in first scrimmage by Cesar Davila
hendrix@unm.edu Perhaps this will finally be the year the UNM football team needs that third digit on the scoreboard. The Lobos, in their first spring scrimmage Saturday at University Stadium, displayed the big-play capacity they’ve lacked for the last two years. Quarterbacks Stump Godfrey and Tarean Austin took all the snaps, and neither turned the ball over in the Lobos’ 90-play scrimmage. Transfer Deon Long exploded out of the gate, hauling in five receptions for 90 yards,
and UNM scored nine combined touchdowns. Still, head coach Mike Locksley said the Lobos’ offense could have been more precise. “It was a little sloppy early on,” he said. “Offensively, we get down inside the red zone, and we knock ourselves out of good situations because of the penalties.” Austin, who played in seven games last season, went 12-of-15 for 165 yards for three touchdowns, and seemed to find the open receiver every time he stepped back. Godfrey, on the other hand,

“It’s a nice little redemption, I guess you could say,” he said. “We all wanted to come out here and get a solid win, and I think we did well.” The Lobos continued applying pressure, and Devon Sandoval looked lively up front. He thought his header found the back of the net, but it was disallowed because of a foul. Redshirt freshman Javier Gomez got on the board with a fine shot from 25 yards out in the 55th minute. Fishbein said Gomez was just one of the redshirt freshmen who looked impressive. “I was real happy with how some of our younger players played today,” Fishbein said. “It looks good so far, but it’s still a work in progress.” Fishbein said the heavy winds may have changed the Lobos’ play but gave them an opportunity to prepare for unknown, game-like situations.
“It’s kind of hard to play in this wind, but it’s good to play in some different kinds of environments,” he said. UNM looks to get its six redshirt freshmen valuable experience before the games start to pile. UNM has five matches in April. The Lobos travel to Denver next weekend to take on Creighton, the team that knocked them out of the NCAA College Cup last season, before facing UNM 5 Denver on April 17. “We have a young PUEBLO 0 team, and I think we are fitting players in the right positions right now, and we all have a real positive attitude about it,” Smith said. “This spring season is going to test us mentally and physically, and it’s tough on our bodies, but we can cope with it.” The UNM football team scrimmages Saturday at University Stadium. The Lobos’ offense combined for nine touchdowns in the 90-play match. Robert Maes Daily Lobo
