The city of Albuquerque partially reopened the newly renovated Lead and Coal avenues last week. Mark Motsko, spokesman for the city’s Department of Municipal Development, said the $26 million Lead and Coal Improvements Project began in October 2010 is 85 percent complete, and should be finished by the end of Spring 2012. He said both streets returned to the original one-way direction, with limited lane closures. “We’ve reduced the lanes from three lanes of traffic to two lanes of traffic, a bicycle lane, and wider sidewalk with pedestrian amenities like park benches, trash bins and new bus stops,” he said. “We’re finishing up the curb and gutter, installing cross walks, landscaping, the final level of paving, and then striping.” Motsko said the department tried to maintain access to the local business throughout the construction. He said the department added a business directory to the project’s website at www. leadandcoal.com and provided signage during the construction to notify drivers how to get to the businesses. But Nan Morningstar, owner of Free Radicals on the corner of Yale Boulevard and Lead Avenue, said her business still struggled to stay afloat throughout the construction while other businesses such as Stepp’n-2Style and Saffron Café shut down. “Sales have been down 30 percent for the past year,” she said. “It’s been terrible, a lot of places shut down, even the farmer’s market.” Morningstar said she has yet to notice any improvements in business since the roads reopened, but she said she is happy that the project is almost complete. UNM student Jaymie Wren, who lives on Columbia Drive, between Lead and Coal, said she is relieved the construction is done because the construction doubled the time it takes for her to get to school. “Thank goodness it’s almost done,” she said. “I used to have to drive over a huge mound of dirt and drive the wrong way on the street if I wanted to get to school on time, or I could go all the way around it to the next street or ride my bike, but in the winter it was really cold and I know it’s not that far, but it sucked.”

Some people train for weeks — sometimes months — to enter a cage with someone who hopes to take them down. Brent James is one such person, and as a mixed martial art fighter, he said he dedicates hour after hour to his budding career. Unlike many MMA fighters, especially those made famous by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), James, 27, entered the arena of MMA without experience in martial arts. He joined an MMA gym in Grants, NM, about a year and a half ago. He fought in his first match three months after joining. “The first fight is not knowing what to expect,� James said. “The adrenaline that comes with it is the craziest things — just hearing that cage door slam behind you is intense.� James won his first fight, against Herman Lavan, in 52 seconds in the first round using a triangle hold, a hold which the fighter uses his legs to choke out his opponent. He said the intensity of the rush during that fight excited him more than when he went skydiving. He said MMA fighting is addictive. James said MMA fighting is
more than just a feeling — it’s two competitors who will stop at nothing to win. Each person wants to win, either by getting enough hits to be declared the winner by judges or by knocking out his opponent or forcing him to submit. He said in the fights he won, he did so by submission in the first round. He said that his training in jujutsu enables him to fight well on the ground, where most submission holds take place. But James hasn’t won every fight. While he won his first fight against Lavan, he lost his second fight to a more experienced fighter, Derek Perez. In the fight, Perez put James in a guillotine hold — a choke that submits an opponent by limiting either the air or blood flow to the brain. James said going from his first win to his first loss was difficult. He said he knew how to get out of the hold but failed, which he said was more frustrating. “It was tough,� James said. “So it was all about going back to the gym and working on how I lost and how to not get caught in that submission again.� James said he and his trainer worked for weeks on how to do a guillotine reversal. And he said that’s what training requires — dedication. James said he goes to the gym

about six days a week for about three hours a day. Along with intensive practice, he cuts weight so that he’s eligible to compete. His normal weight is about 165 pounds, but he fights at 145 pounds, which means he has to drop about 20 pounds before a fight to compete in the welterweight class. When James fights, though, he’s said he doesn’t think about his weight or his next move. He pays attention to the guy that wants to take him down. “You have to focus and put all the distractions out,� James said. “And if you train hard enough and you have the right training, everything should be instinct.� James said that the during fights, he gets so hyped the blows he takes feel more like thuds. But he added that he might feel differently after a few hits to the face. While his wife and most people support his endeavor, he said his mother dislikes it. “During the fight that I lost, my mom was actually screaming ‘stop hitting him’ to the other guy,� James said. James is 3-1, and while he doesn’t have any new fights scheduled, he said he wants to take his career as far as he can.

Dead, frozen cows confound officials by Steven K. Paulson The Associated Press
DENVER — It may take explosives to dislodge a group of cows that wandered into an old ranger cabin high in the Rocky Mountains, then died and froze solid when they couldn’t get out. The carcasses were discovered by two Air Force Academy cadets when they snow-shoed up to the cabin in late March. Rangers believe the animals sought shelter during a snowstorm and got stuck and weren’t smart enough to find their way out. The cabin is located near the Conundrum Hot Springs, a ninemile hike from the Aspen area in the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness area. Michael Carroll, a spokesman for the Wilderness Society in Colorado, said cattle are often allowed to wander on federal wilderness lands as long as ranchers get a permit from the Forest Service, and sometimes the animals get separated from the herd. The Forest Service said Tuesday the animals came from a herd of 29 cows that went missing last fall from the nearby Gunnison National Forest where the rancher had a permit. An aerial search failed to turn up any sign of the animals. Forest Service spokesman Brian Porter said rangers saw about six cows inside the cabin, and several dead cows lying around the building. “There is a lot of snow, and it’s hard to determine how many

cows are there,” Porter said. U.S. Forest Service spokesman Steve Segin said Tuesday they need to decide quickly how to get rid of the carcasses. “Obviously, time is of the essence because we don’t want them defrosting,” Segin said. Segin said officials are concerned about water contamination in the nearby hot springs if the cows start decomposing during the thaw. The options: use explosives to break up the cows, burn down the cabin, or using a helicopters or trucks to haul out the carcasses. But Segin said using helicopters is too expensive and rangers are worried about using trucks in a wilderness area, where the government bars permanent improvements and tries to preserve the natural habitat. Carroll praised the Forest Service for trying to remove the animals while doing the least damage. He said burning down the cabin or packing out the carcasses are probably the best solutions. “They need to use the minimal tool to get the job done. They don’t want to leave the land scarred,” he said. Segin said the Forest Service occasionally uses explosives to destroy carcasses of animals that can’t be retrieved. “We’ve used them as a means of disposal to remove dead horses, elk and other animals in areas where it’s impossible to get them out,” he said.

Letter
Americans should invest in, appreciate veterans Editor, Overseas and here stateside, many of our young men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces are fulfilling their oath of service to “support and defend the Constitution” of our country. As a U.S. Army veteran, I understand the years of fulfilling my duty by training in swamps, guarding arctic Alaska bases, driving armored convoys in the Middle East and even mopping floors on early holiday mornings. I also understand how hard it is for our military veterans to be away from their families for long periods of time, and the challenges involved in their journey to come back home. That is why I believe we have an obligation to support our transitioning military veterans by learning from their service, building on their strengths, and investing in their future so that we can build our country to lead on the global stage. Learning from our military veterans can start with a handshake, an embrace or even a “welcome back home,” and it continues with committing ourselves to serving others. An appreciation of our military veterans’ service goes hand in hand with thanking our neighbors, police officers, firefighters and teachers here at home. We can learn to thank the people who serve our country, young and old, because they and their families have made sacrifices so that we can pursue a life of “liberty and … happiness.” We must also remember that service to our country is not an antiquated idea; it means working together to pursue larger goals, and it is the key to building a better future for all of us. Building long-term sustainability, innovation and economic growth for all of us depends on working together, looking at different points of view and having the audacity to create a vision for the future. Military veterans can help because they believe in working on a team to serve a greater purpose, using different groups of people to solve problems and having the courage to face uncertainty with bold leadership. Our servicemen and servicewomen have also lived in different countries, experienced stressful situations and have seen the worst in humanity, but have brought out the best in themselves. Their stories are part of our American history, and they continue to build upon that story by coming home to better our families, our neighborhoods and our economy. Investing in education, health care and career training for our young military veterans not only provides the foundation for a successful transition, but it is also an investment in our country’s long-term economic development. When we send our young men and women into the fire of combat, we also have a responsibility to bring them out of that fire. After coming back home, many of our new “Greatest Generation” of American citizens have now chosen to study to become our scientists, engineers, lawyers, doctors and teachers. Nearly 600,000 veterans and their dependents are expected to be enrolled under the G.I. Bill this year. Today, we have a growing military veteran population in New Mexico of close to 175,000 people, and many more will return after serving from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Recently, Gov. Martinez signed HB-10, the Tax Credit for Hiring Veterans Act, which allows up to a $1,000 business tax credit for each hiring of a recently returned veteran. In addition, the new federal Vow to Hire Heroes Act of 2011 allows for Work Opportunity Tax Credits (WOTC) as high as $9,600 per veteran for for-profit employers or up to $6,240 for tax-exempt organizations. Our transitioning military veterans deserve continued support from our businesses, our schools and our communities. Investing in our military veterans is not only a smart move, it’s a good investment for our country, and it shows the depth of working together in our American character. Andres F. Lazo UNM student and military veteran

Online classes free up Internet time by Devon Stevens
Daily Lobo columnist I am disturbed at the amount of offline learning going on in a supposedly modern school such as UNM. None of my history or English classes feature online coursework. Sure they may have online supplementary material occasionally, but that is nothing compared to the trailblazing language classes. Having had classes with both online and offline content, I can say the classes with online content are better in every way. My prototypical example is my Spanish class, as contrasted with the few sign language courses I have taken. The sign courses have had almost no online content, while the Spanish course uses online content as a tool — a crutch, if you will. Homework in sign class is usually handouts or partner work, while Spanish class uses Pearson’s MyLanguageLabs. Gone are handouts or working face-toface with a partner. Gone are the days when I would have to waste my time arranging meetings between fellow classmates and my own difficult schedule. I can now spend five minutes online doing homework between Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Because the online homework gives me infinite chances, I can randomly guess, thus freeing up even more time. And because the teacher no longer needs to pay attention to student homework, it frees up their time, too. I’m grateful and thankful the language departments are so considerate of my time. I’m
equally thankful the online service that they have selected utilizes the post-progressive attitude toward competent Internet browsers such as Safari, Chrome and most versions of Firefox by rejecting them all and standing by Internet Explorer. I am especially grateful the site’s reliance on pop-ups makes my computer’s anti-virus programs crazy. I like how my anti-spyware programs won’t even let me do my lessons without turning all of them off. It’s as if the department picked a service that was completely in step with the modern online experience. I can’t even begin to thank the Spanish department, the French department and possibly the other language departments, for leading the way in serious online content. I enjoy how they suggest that I download and install chat programs I’ve never heard of to talk to strangers to encourage a more baffling language experience. I imagine what English as a Second Language students must go through as being fairly typical: ESL student: Hello my names are Michael. Am of Columbia. Can I ask a many questions of mine English class? Me: Okay. ESL student: What are you do this weekend? Me: It was great. I went to see a magic show and damn if that magician didn’t do the strangest feats of legerdemain and prestidigitation I have ever seen. It was as if the law of entropy had been completely
smashed and dashed to the floor! ESL student: Sorry. What? My English are bad. Given this exchange, I must put the sign language department in the spotlight and ask why? Why do you insist on giving beginning students practical experience when interacting with people from the Deaf community? Everybody knows the best way to learn a language is to wade as deeply into the Internet as you are able, letting the tides wash you out to sea. I know one Paraguayan girl who learned English entirely online. Her mastery of it is very impressive too: “I haz English, English language is English. You no haz the quesoburger?” “Otherwise people think I am crazy like a crazy thing” is also good. It puts both my Spanish and French to shame. If you don’t believe in-person contact isn’t worthless, let me relate a quick story. I was in Paris years ago. Hungry, I decided to head to the market to get myself a bite to eat. I felt the need for sea food and asked to buy some fish. They instead handed me a box of rat poison. Luckily, I saw the skull and crossbones in time and was only mildly sick. I can only hope the other departments follow in the steps of the language departments by incorporating technology in a depersonalizing, haphazard manner that distances the teachers from the students, encourages guessing and discourages personal contact so I can get back to my text messages and video games.
Letter Dead student’s father thanks UNM for support Editor’s Note: This letter is from Kevin Elders, father of dead student Garrett Elders. Editor, On behalf of my family and myself, I want to say thank you for all the support you have shown our family during our sorrow at the loss of our son Garrett J. Elders. The prayers and support that we received have given us the strength to stand. I want especially to say to the young men
of Sigma Chi Fraternity, for you have touched our hearts in such a special way: We will always remember how you supported our family. The prayer vigil and memorial services touched and lifted our spirits in a time we needed it most. The support and encouraging words from the UNM faculty and the campus community were heartfelt and genuine. We are amazed at the number of people our son Garrett impacted as it was revealed to us through the words of encouragement you shared. May the memories of Garrett J. Elders live on in each and every one of you. Kevin J. Elders Daily Lobo reader

Cease-fire in Syria struggles by Ben Hubbard and Elizabeth A. Kennedy The Associated Press
Don’t worry... it kinda looks like you’re taking notes.
BEIRUT — Artillery shatters homes in opposition areas. Regime tanks roll though city centers. Civilians dig graves for dozens of corpses, scrawling their names on headstones with black markers. Six days on, this is the cease-fire in Syria. But U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon and others stand by the U.N.-negotiated truce, saying the violence is sporadic and that President Bashar Assad’s regime has lessened its assaults. Even with dozens reported dead over the past two days, the world powers struggling to stop Syria’s bloodshed are reluctant to declare the cease-fire dead. “That process needs to play itself out before we judge it a success or a failure,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said. Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said “the situation is not improving. The violence is continuing, the bombardments, particularly in Homs, seem to be increasing, and the conditions that one would want and need to see for the effective deployment of the balance of the monitors are not at present in place.” Nevertheless, Rice called the U.N. plan “perhaps the best and
potentially the last best effort to resolve the situation through peaceful diplomatic means.” “It may be impossible to do so,” Rice acknowledged. “It may be that the government’s logic is that it will continue the use of violence despite its repeated commitments as long as it can get away with it.” But a lack of alternatives exist for calming Syria’s 13-month-old crisis. The U.N. has ruled out the type of military action that helped oust Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi, and the U.S. and its allies balk at intervening in another Arab nation in turmoil. Several rounds of international sanctions have done little to slow the bloodshed, even though France said Tuesday that the measures have eroded Syria’s foreign currency reserves by half. The opposition is weak and divided, wracked by infighting and power struggles. The rebels are low on money and guns, and a plan by Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries to funnel millions of dollars a month to rebels known as the Free Syrian Army has gone nowhere. Joshua Landis, director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Oklahoma, said cease-fires in Middle East conflicts are rarely perfect. “Usually these things are violated by the stronger side because they see
an advantage and they can take more land, and right now the opposition is weak,” he said. Also, Assad can violate the cease-fire terms because he knows the international community won’t intervene further. “The international community is frightened,” Landis said. “Assad has laid down the gauntlet. He said, ‘I’m not going to leave, I’m going to burn the country down,’ and the world isn’t sure it wants to go down that road.” The truce is part of a plan to launch talks between Assad’s regime and the opposition. The plan has the backing of Assad’s allies, including Russia, and even with setbacks it is seen as the only way forward. Under the plan, Assad was supposed to withdraw his troops from populated areas and both sides were to lay down their guns — neither of which has happened. The cease-fire is to allow for a dialogue to end the crisis. Some opposition leaders have not agreed to the plan, insisting that Assad has killed too many people to be part of the conflict’s solution. “If he (Assad) makes corresponding statements and proves his innocence before the Syrian and international courts, we will be prepared in this case for a dialogue with him,” said Abdul-Aziz al-Kheir, spokesman for National Coordination Body for Democratic Change.

Judge pardons pit bull from ‘doggy death row’ by Sheila Burke
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The life of a mutt that’s been on doggy death row for more than a year has been spared by a judge following an outcry from animal lovers and the acceptance of a last-ditch proposal to keep the dog alive. Now Prada, the 4-year-old pit bull mix that inspired thousands of strangers across the globe to sign a petition to save the dog’s life, could be headed to Animal Planet fame. The dog was declared vicious and ordered to be euthanized after escaping from her home and attacking several dogs in an upscale Nashville neighborhood in January 2011. It usually doesn’t take long to carry out such an order, but Prada’s owner fought a lengthy legal battle, vowing to never stop until she saved her dog. Nicole Andree, a 35-year-old real estate agent who rescued Prada when the dog was 4 weeks old, asked a judge to spare her beloved companion if she agreed to send the animal to the Villalobos Rescue Center in New Orleans. The rescue center is featured in Animal Planet’s reality TV show “Pitt Bulls and Parolees,” which puts ex-convicts and abused dogs together so both man and animal can be rehabilitated. Andree said she didn’t mind giving
her dog up if it meant Prada would be spared. “I just wanted her to live.” She said her dog would be in good hands with Tia Torres, who runs the Villalobos Rescue center. While she was relieved for her dog, Andree said the toll of endless legal
battles and not knowing whether Prada was going to live or die has proven to be devastating for her own family. Andree’s father died of a massive heart attack on Easter Sunday. “The stress from everything killed my father,” she said while
choking back tears. Andree has said her dog was being discriminated against because it is part pit bull. The dog was ordered put down by three different courts after attorneys for the city of Nashville said Prada

posed a public safety threat. In court documents, they expressed concerns that the city could be held liable if Prada were to attack another dog or even a human. Afterward,Andreelaunchedasocial media campaign to save Prada, which inspired more than 11,000 people to sign a petition asking Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam to pardon Prada. But the governor, through a spokesman, said it was a local matter and he couldn’t pardon a dog. Davidson County Circuit Court Judge Joe Binkley Jr. signed the order sparing Prada after city attorneys said they would not object to the plan to transfer ownership of the dog to Torres so it could live at the rescue center. “After investigating Villalobos and speaking with Ms. Torres, Metro officials determined that Ms. Andree’s proposed order was an appropriate resolution to this case,” Metro attorney Alex Dickerson said in an email. “Ms. Torres has extensive experience caring for aggressive dogs and the Villalobos Rescue Center is adequately equipped to confine such animals. Accordingly, Metro did not oppose Ms. Andree’s motion and will transfer Prada to Ms. Torres within the next two weeks.” The dog must stay at the rescue center for the rest of its life, Binkley’s order said.

Top stars’ speed, skill clash by Nathan Farmer
sports@dailylobo.com This weekend, two of the world’s best go head to head, two who may go down as the best ever at their game. On Saturday, Lionel Messi and Barcelona take on Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid in a pivotal game in the Spanish La Liga that could all but determine the champion of Spain this year. With Madrid leading by four points and five games remaining in the season, this game surely decides the title, in what I believe is the best league in the world. These two teams usually meet at least four times a year, and Barcelona usually comes out on top, but think something more poignant comes about if emphasis is placed on the teams’ stars. No doubt Ronaldo and Messi earned reputations as the best two players in the world at the moment, but could we be seeing the best two players to ever play the game go up against each other? I have seen both of these players play in person, and while I have no opinion as to who is better, both players bring something different to the table, which makes them difficult to compare. Ronaldo stands at 6 feet 1 inch, and is hands down the best athlete in any sport in the world at the moment. The athleticism and power with the control is unmatched by anyone. The speed at which he plays the game is unseen and he is the only player who consistently scores from long range with ease, and his aerial ability is hard to stop.
Cristiano Ronaldo Ronaldo mixes power with a finesse that makes any defender in the world nervous. Messi stands at just 5 feet 7 inches, but what he lacks in size he makes up for in skill. To put it simply, he makes the game of soccer look easy. He can dribble past anyone with ease, and

PHOENIX — Another game, another low-wattage effort for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Neil Walker drove in Pittsburgh’s only run with two outs in the first inning and the Pirates lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-1 on Monday for their sixth loss in seven games. “We haven’t scored many runs but we have been in just about every game,” Casey McGehee said. “I think there have been flashes and signs that we are swinging the bats a little bit better. I think we have too much offensive talent to continue this for too long.” The Pirates have scored two runs or fewer in seven of 10 games. Andrew McCutchen singled with two outs in the first and stole second. McGehee legged out an infield single to deep short and Walker singled to center, scoring McCutchen. From there, Diamondbacks starter Joe Saunders (1-0) and two other pitchers combined to retire 24 of the final 28 batters they faced, including the last 10. “We are still lacking that big hit on
Soccer
offense and the ability to grind out some at bats,” Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. “After the three (hits) we had four the rest of the game. There is still work to be done.” Pirates starter Erik Bedard (0-3) scattered three hits over five innings but walked four, the final two of which helped the Diamondbacks take the lead in the fourth. Paul Goldschmidt took ball four with two outs and went to second on a passed ball. Bedard then walked Jason Kubel and Ryan Roberts followed with a line single to right, scoring Goldschmidt to make it 2-1. Bedard had walked only two batters in his first two starts spanning 12 innings. “I don’t think (the offense) matters for a pitcher,” said Bedard, who had one of the Pirates’ seven hits. “You just go out and try to put zeroes up there. It doesn’t matter if it’s 10-0 or 1-0.” Chris Young had three hits including his team-best fifth home run and Saunders pitched seven strong innings for Arizona. Aaron Hill and Gerardo Parra also homered for the Diamondbacks.

His skill and composure in tight areas is unlike anyone else in the world. It’s hard to say which style of play is better, because they both produce results. Just look at last weekend, when both players broke the La Liga scoring record in the same day. Last season was remarkable for Ronaldo, when he scored 40 goals, a new record in La Liga. Last weekend Ronaldo broke his own record, and Messi scored two goals to take each of their tallies to 41 goals in the league. To put in perspective how big an achievement this is, look at the numbers. La Liga has been competing since 1929. During that 83-year period, 12 European players of the year have competed in La Liga. None of those players ever managed to score more than 40 goals in a season, let alone 41 with five games remaining.
Alberto Saiz / AP Photo This season, Messi broke the scoring record for Barcelona, one of the best teams ever, with 234 goals in his career at the age of just 24. He already won three world player of the year awards and averages .77 goals per game in La Liga. This year, Ronaldo was the fastest player to ever reach 100 goals in La Liga and averages an astounding 1.11 goals per game. He has scored 13 hat tricks in 96 La Liga games for Real Madrid. Ronaldo, 27, has already reached his prime, while Messi is still improving game after game, and we may have yet to see him at his best, which is scary. Barring injury, both players still have at least one World Cup left to perform on the international stage and stamp themselves in the history books. While most critics would pick Messi over Ronaldo, in 20 years we will look back on these players’ careers as two of the best the world has ever seen.

Don’t be fooled by the baseball team’s 18-18 record — the Lobos are better than they seem. The Lobos have a 9-3 conference record and are tied with Texas Christian University for the lead in the MWC. Blame the losing record on the tough out-of-conference schedule. Since starting the season 2-9, UNM is on a 15-9 run. The Lobos faced three top-50 opponents this year: Gonzaga, Arizona State University and NMSU. The Lobos swept the highest ranked of the three, No. 14 Gonzaga, in a three-game series at Isotopes Park, to give Gonzaga its first losses of the season.

For the men’s golf team, it has been a successful season to say the least. The Lobos are ranked No. 16 in the nation by GolfWeekRankings. com, and have finished in the top five in every tournament so far this year. Freshman Victor Perez, who finished in the top 10 in several tournaments, said being ranked one of the top teams in the country shows what the team is accomplished. “We have a very good team and if
Underdogs
everyone plays good, we are a hard team to beat,” Perez said. The latest top five attainments for the Lobos came on April 7 when UNM tied for second with San Diego State University at the ASU/Thunderbird Invitational in Tempe, Ariz. Head coach Glen Millican said everyone on the team buoyed the Lobos to the ranking and he is proud to see other players step up every tournament. “It’s been great watching different guys play well and contribute each and every event,” Millican said. “We’ve had some young guys have good years and a couple juniors have played very well at the top.” One of the top performers, junior John Catlin, has an individual tournament win that came at the Ping Arizona Intercollegiate in Tucson, Ariz., along with several top-five finishes. Catlin said one of the reasons for the Lobos’ success is the play of the freshmen like Perez. “It’s very helpful to have three guys show up and immediately help the team out,” Catlin said. The Lobos as a team claimed one tournament this year — the Lone Star Invitational in San Antonio, Texas. UNM seized victory by eight strokes over Texas A&M University
and North Texas University. The Lobos faced some of the top teams in the country this season, including the No. 1 University of Texas. Entering the final round of play at the Morris Williams Intercollegiate in Austin, Texas, UNM was six strokes behind the Longhorns, but on the back nine the Lobos fell apart and Texas to won by 16 strokes. Although the Lobos lost the tournament, Millican said he was happy with the performance the Lobos put on against the top team in the nation. “To go down there and know that we played good enough golf to stay with the number-one team in the country on their home golf course says a lot about these guys,” Millican said. In the MWC, the competition just gets harder as the University of Las Vegas ranks No. 11 in the nation, while SDSU ranks No. 15. Catlin said that both teams present a challenge for the conference championship, but the Lobos already beat both teams. “UNLV and SDSU are our two biggest competitors,” Catlin said. “We have a pretty good chance at beating them because we have already beaten both of them this year.”
If the Lobos make it to the NCAA tournament, the nation better not wake these underdogs.
Josh Melendez. Garver and Peterson were also each named College Baseball 360’s Primetime Performer. Pitcher Austin House won MWC Pitcher of the Week twice this season. Let’s not forget about left fielder John Pustay’s performance against Air Force, in which he went 6-6 at the plate, snagged five RBIs and scored four runs. The six hits tied a UNM record. All of these players are underclassmen as well. Birmingham believes UNM deserves national recognition. The team deserves some respect for sweeping one of the best teams in the nation. If the Lobos make it to the NCAA tournament, the nation better not wake these underdogs.
from page 9
The Lobos only have three nonconference opponents left in their schedule: Texas Tech University, Florida Gulf Coast and one more game against NMSU. Other than that, the Lobos face conference rivals TCU, UNLV and Air Force. If the team’s current conference record indicates how it will do for the rest of the conference schedule, the Lobos have a good shot of winning the regular-season title. As head coach Ray Birmingham said, nonconference games don’t matter in the end. And he’s right. Winning the conference tournament guarantees the team a spot in the NCAA tournament. Winning the regular-season title could earn the team the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament, and gives
the Lobos the easiest route to the final. In addition to a tough schedule, the Lobos’ success arises from a crop of solid players. So far, the team has won the MWC Player of the Week award five times: two apiece for catcher Mitchell Garver and infielder DJ Peterson, and one for outfielder
