UNM student killed, NMSU student injured in gunfight on campus

@annyaloya & @zarazzledazzle

On Saturday, Nov. 19, a Uni versity of New Mexico student was killed and a New Mexico State University student was shot and injured in an altercation that resulted in a shooting at approxi mately 3 a.m. in the parking lot of Coronado Hall, a UNM dormitory.

The shooting occurred when 19-year-old UNM student Bran don Travis and three other conspirators lured NMSU bas ketball player Mike Peake on campus to assault him. Travis then confronted Peake with a gun and shot him. Peake, who was also carrying a gun, then shot Travis, according to a press release from the New Mexico State Police. Tra vis was pronounced dead at the scene and Peake was taken to a nearby hospital, according to the Albuquerque Journal

One of the conspirators was placed in a juvenile detention center on charges of aggravated assault and conspiracy; the oth er two have been identified by police but not yet charged with

any crime.

Students reported gunshots in the Coronado Hall area at around 3:15 a.m. and police ar rived around 5-10 minutes later, according to the Las Cruces Sun News . Students were informed of

police activity near the hall via Lobo Alert at 3:50 a.m. At 4:18 a.m. another alert confirmed that the investigation was due to a shooting. Lobo Alert then sent out an email update at 4:27 p.m. indi cating that the New Mexico State

Police were still looking for two other individuals who were in volved with the shooting and fled the scene, along with information on the ages of the victims.

The investigation was taken over by New Mexico State Police, as

UNM resides in their jurisdiction. Their early investigation led to the NMSU Aggies’ bus being stopped on the way back to Las Cruces near Fort Craig, according to the Las Cruces Sun News; they were shortly let go and no one was detained, ac cording to the Journal

UNM President Garnett Stokes sent out an official message on Saturday afternoon expressing grief and stating the known facts of the case. In it, she also reit erated both NMSU and UNM’s zero tolerance policy for guns on campus.

“News of violence on and near university campuses has been front of mind on a national lev el, especially in recent weeks, and we must do everything in our power to provide a safe and secure environment for our Lobo community, especially for those who live on campus,” the statement read.

UNM Student Health and Counseling offered grief counsel ing on the following Sunday after from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. They also had after-hours availability where students could reach out at the number 505-277-3136.

GPSA passes resolution in support of United Grad Workers

By Annya Loya

@annyaloya

The Graduate and Professional Student Association of the Univer sity of New Mexico showed their support for the United Graduate Workers of UNM through a joint resolution, which was adopted on Saturday, Oct. 29. Joint Reso lution 1F advises UNM to tackle various issues that affect graduate students at UNM and are still in negotiation between the Union and the University.

“For us, this means that we want to uplift the voices of our constitu ents. I believe as a minority-serving R1 institution, we carry a shared responsibility to support margin alized demographics in pursuit of Higher Education,” Shaikh Ahmad, GPSA president, said.

The minimum pay for UNM graduate worker’s full-time equiva lent is at 50%, or around $13,231 over 10 months, according to Joint Resolution 1F. Currently, for UNM’s main campus, the estimated cost of attendance for a graduate student living on or off campus is $18,731,

excluding tuition.

GPSA believes that if graduate students are given a living wage that allows them to afford basic needs, students will have less stress and will be able to perform better in academia and research, accord ing to Ahmad.

“GPSA concurs with the senti ment to have an improved benefits package for graduate workers at the University,” Ahmad said.

Ben Garcia, a steward for the Union and one of the representa tives of the biology department for GPSA, said that the Union is try ing to show these are issues that don’t only affect a small group of students.

“I think the goal of our resolu tion is really just to emphasize that this really is more than just, we’re asking for more money. This is that we’re asking for enough money to be able to afford food and rent and health care all at the same time. And not be living in poverty,” Garcia said.

Moving forward, Garcia believes the Union needs UNM President Garnett Stokes and the UNM ad

Garcia believes that receiving support from the UNM commu nity is as vital as receiving support from the GPSA and other graduate

it’s especially heartbreaking when it involves students and hap pens on a university campus,” the statement read.

The UNM v. NMSU basket ball game will be postponed until further notice, according

students, and he is looking forward to continuing negotiations with the University. Ahmad said that GPSA hopes UGW and the University administration keep progressing toward an arrangement that is

UNM alum given notable mention in ‘The Best American Essays 2022’

By Spenser Willden @spenserwillden

On Nov. 1, Harper Collins re leased the most recent edition of their annual “Best American Es says” series, which honors the years’ best works in the field of creative nonfiction. This year, Uni versity of New Mexico alumnus Michelle Gurule received a notable mention in the book’s appendix for her essay “Exit Route,” initially written as part of her dissertation at UNM and published in issue 53 of literary magazine StoryQuarterly Started in 1986, “Best American Essays” series editor Robert Atwan begins the process by selecting 100 essays each year. He then sends them to a guest editor (this edi tion, author Alexander Chee) who selects 20 for reproduction in the book — the remainder are listed as “Notable Essays” in the appendix.

Past guest editors include Annie Dillard, Joyce Carol Oates, Susan Sontag, Jamaica Kincaid and David

Foster Wallace.

“Exit Route,” which won Sto ryQuarterly’s nonfiction prize alongside the notable mention in “Best American Essays,” concerns Gurule’s father and grandmother as well as her attempt to escape her work at the time as a sugar baby.

Initially written as Gurule’s first workshop piece for her master of fine arts, “Exit Route” evolved af ter a conversation between Gurule and professor Mark Sundeen, who linked it to another essay of hers about sex work, telling her it wasn’t just an essay, but an entire book.

“This piece is actually really special to me. It started out as something that was about me and my dad and my grandma. Once I added in the elements of the sex work, it really came to life. It started the conversation about me writing the whole memoir,” Gurule said.

Gurule is currently in the edit ing process of the larger memoir, which she hopes to have complet ed for shopping to publishers in see Notable page 3

Notable from page 2 spring 2023. The mention in “Best American Essays” will hopefully make the process easier, according to Gurule.

In “Exit Route,” as well as her other writing, Gurule returns fre quently to ideas of Americana and pop culture.

“I try to play around with Ameri can culture. I like the idea of pop culture. I make a lot of references to malls and Taco Bell, sort of Amer icana-type stuff. It’s really fun to play around with. It’s just the world

that I grew up in, so it feels like an invitation to have these references with an audience where we can relate together even though we’d never met,” Gurule said.

The publication in StoryQuarter ly and mention in “Best American Essays” has heavily impacted Gu rule’s career.

“Funny enough, [my] agent found me because of the ‘Exit Route’ piece. I was querying al ready for like a year and had not been successful … and then she

emailed me … This piece was how they reached out to me and asked if I was working on something bigger … We’ve been working on revisions for the last year,” Gurule said.

Gurule first said she became in terested in memoir in high school, specifically after reading Augusten Burroughs and Mitch Albom. She said other influences include David Sedaris, Chelsea Handler, Leslie Jamison, Raven Leilani, Sig rid Nunez and Patricia Lockwood.

Gurule received her master

of fine arts in creative nonfic tion from UNM in spring 2021. While studying here, she worked closely with Dr. Andrew Bourelle and Sundeen. It was at Bourelle’s suggestion that she submit “Exit Route” to “Best American Essays,” according to Gurule.

“I truly had a magnificent time at UNM. I feel so grateful towards the experiences I had there, with both the professors and with my cohort. I left there with really wonderful friends and had the best experi

ence of my life … I’m always telling everyone now when they mention wanting to go for an MFA, I’m like, please look into UNM because it’s amazing,” Gurule said.

“Exit Route” can be read on Sto ryQuarterly’s website. “The Best American Essays 2022” is available wherever books are sold.

‘The art and glamour’ of Native American fashion Museum of Contemporary Native Arts’ Indigenous fashion exhibition open until

By Sierra Martinez

@DailyLobo

On Friday, Aug. 19, the Insti tute of American Indian Arts’ Museum of Contemporary Na tive Arts in Santa Fe opened its “Art of Indigenous Fashion” ex hibition, which features works from Indigenous designers across North America. The ex hibition is the first of its kind for the museum, disrupting the idea of Indigenous clothing as artifact rather than fashion.

Amber-Dawn Bear Robe — cu rator, art historian and professor at the Institute of American Indi an Arts — curated the exhibition with the specific goals of am plifying the work of Indigenous designers and showcasing the diversity of Native fashion.

“My goal with the exhibition is to give a different perspective into Indigenous fashion; a fuller perspective, but also an internal worldview, which means talking to the designers, making sure that the stories they want to be told are told, and to also give a snapshot of the diversity of In digenous fashion and the im portance of Indigenous fashion (within) American fashion,” Bear Robe said.

The response to the exhibi tion has been overwhelmingly positive and has even sparked questions like “why haven’t we seen this before?,” according to Robe. Inquiries like these point

to the art culture of Santa Fe and how the work of Indigenous art ists is often viewed differently than that of their counterparts who aren’t Native.

“Tradition is always chang ing … The way that Native fash ion and art have been framed has been from an anthropo logical, non-Native, generally white worldview … If you have a

dress from the 1800s [by] a Eu ropean or a Parisian designer, that wouldn’t be classified as an ethnographic artifact, right? It’s seen as a historical item of fash ion, whereas, when you look at a garment that’s made by a Native designer in the 1800s, it’s seen as an artifact, something that is the most authentic and true rep resentation of Indian garments,”

Bear Robe said.

The importance of the “Art of Indigenous Fashion” exhibition comes down to representation, a sentiment echoed by Orlando Dugi, a Santa Fe-based designer featured in the exhibition, ac cording to Bear Robe.

“When we do get a spotlight, usually it’s more like we’re the token put on a pedestal and

Jan. 2023

(people say), ‘oh look at these Natives, they can come and do these things.’ I’m torn between saying it’s insulting, and at the same time you also are kind of thankful because you’re given a little spot, and some people may take it because they know they’re not always given that chance,” Dugi said.

Both Dugi and Bear Robe hope to see Native fashion continue to gain momentum and take center stage in the mainstream world of fashion.

“Ideally, I would like this show to be in a non-Native institution to reach a larger (and) different audience … The importance is representation; representation is everything,” Bear Robe said.

Dugi said that as Native fash ion continues to grow, he would like to see Native designers have their own additional avenues of representation.

“(I want us to) have our own fashion weeks, our own fashion council, because it’s important to be able to show our younger selves that things like that are possible now,” Dugi said.

The “Art of Native Fashion” ex hibition will be held at the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Na tive Arts until Jan. 8, 2023.

LETTER:

Grad Workers deserve insurance and a living wage

By Victoriano Cardenas

I’m not currently a graduate worker, but I’m an alum and I had to put off an eye surgery for years because the University of New Mexico doesn’t offer vision insur ance or a living wage. Let me say that again: UNM employs a bunch of nerds and provides no eye in surance. Seriously, what?

In 2017, I got into UNM’s cre ative writing program. I was working retail at the time and had health, vision and dental insur ance, so of course, I scheduled as many appointments as possible before school. I went to get an eye exam and my doctor said, “some

thing’s going on with your cor neas, but we’ll just keep an eye on it. Come back next year.”

But I wasn’t able to go in the next year because I’d have to pay for the exam (and a new prescrip tion if I needed one) out of pocket.

On $14.5k a year, even $125 for a vision exam is really hard to come by. Fast forward to 2019, and I’m going for an eye exam because the situation has become unten able — I can’t read up close. My eye doctor says, “okay, you know how we said to keep an eye on your corneas? Well, they’re dete riorating. You need surgery.”

I couldn’t think about surgery. I had to keep thinking about school, about a summer job: how

was I going to pay rent or feed my self if I didn’t keep working?

I graduated mid-pandemic in 2020. I couldn’t even get an eye exam for a long time. And this summer, when I finally couldn’t read up close at all, my eye doc tor said, “you really need this surgery. Honestly, you should have gotten it done a long time ago.”

I tried to think about when I could have gotten an eye sur gery that would leave me out of commission for a month — for get the winter intercessions, I used most of my off-time lesson planning, catching up on my dis sertation or reading for the next semester’s classes.

Maybe during the summer? But grad students didn’t get sum mer funding: how would I keep a roof over my head if I wasn’t working from May through Au gust? We don’t even have health coverage over the summer. A lot of us just cross our fingers that nothing bad will happen to us during the summer, or dur ing the regular school year for that matter. Who will cover our classes? Meet with our students? Pay our rent? Take care of our families? ourselves?

And while I was reading and writing and grading my eyes into dust for a pittance of a wage, who ever makes those decisions, about who gets to have insurance, who

gets a cost of living increase, I can guarantee they didn’t have to put off surgeries or appointments or even deny themselves vacations or country club memberships. They are respected enough by the University for it to pay (for) them.

I see now how little UNM cares about its student workers. UNM’s continued reluctance to bargain and persistent union-busting tac tics show that the administration would much rather let student workers go blind, cold or hungry than provide a living wage or suf ficient health benefits.

So we’re not going to look away — we deserve insurance and better pay.

Students weigh in on social media’s impact on midterm elections

By Cyrrene Giaccardo

@DailyLobo

Social media became a point of high contention during the re cent election, according to the Santa Fe New Mexican, the Daily Lobo talked to three students at the University of New Mexico and they all agreed that while not per sonally influencing their vote, it did impact the election, mainly leading to a disinterest in politics and a negative impact on their mental health.

Brandon Montoya said so cial media did not influence his vote because of his preexisting knowledge of politics, but he did believe it could have influenced people who were undecided or less informed.

Younger generations are more aware of what role social media has played in past elections and how it can spread misinforma

tion, according to Forbes. Memes also played a role in the election this year as memes against Mark Ronchetti could have harmed the Republican candidate’s cam paign, according to the Santa Fe New Mexican

Kayla Bottinelli said that she was concerned about how so cial media negatively impacts mental health with how much influence it has on news and politics. Ultimately, she said that social media did not influ ence her vote because of what she already felt was at stake in the election.

“I deleted social media for mental health purposes, so it did not influence my vote, but I think social media influenc es the news itself at this point,” Bottinelli said.

Both Montoya and Shar lene Landeros said that the majority of political content they have seen has been found

on Instagram.

Landeros said that the way so cial media has portrayed politics has caused a desensitization to the harsh language used within campaign ads.

“It was a turn-off to see the brutalness used by politicians in their ads because it caused more stress than motivation,” Landeros said.

All three expressed that they were turned off by the intense po litical messaging on social media, and they wished they had known more about the candidates in the election overall.

“Social media has polarized people a lot, so does the news; it allows people to find echo cham bers that radicalize both ways,” Bottinelli said.

UNM professor presents data on arrests of unhoused individuals in Albuquerque

By Maddie Pukite

@maddogpukite

On the evening of Thursday, Nov. 17, Professor Ernesto Longa, a University of New Mexico law librarian, discussed the data he collected surrounding the fre quency and circumstances of the arrests of unhoused individuals in Albuquerque. Dozens of com munity members gathered in the Student Union Building for a lecture held by Salt of the Earth School, in tandem with Students for Socialism.

“The statistical summary and key points provided today are based on an inspection of nearly 2,000 misdemeanor felony cas es which were filed against 867 unhoused individuals in 2020,” Longa said.

The top three most common offenses for unhoused individu als were misdemeanor trespasses against property when seeking shelter, interference with law enforcement and misdemeanor larceny — predominantly shop lifting, according to Longa. The other offenses included disorder

ly conduct, public indecency and simple drug possession. Longa referenced several examples of case briefs from criminal com plaints during the lecture.

“The unhoused were charged with committing 3,017 (crimes). 85% of those crimes were classi fied as misdemeanors and 15% were classified as felonies. The most common category of charg es filed against the unhoused was for misdemeanor trespasses against property,” Longa said.

Since the Albuquerque Po lice Department’s reports do not specifically note whether an indi vidual is unhoused or not, Longa used other identifiers on the document for the purpose of his research. The identifiers included the individual being described as homeless or unhoused, a shel ter listed as their address, or if they were arrested for a crime a housed individual is less likely to commit, like pitching a tent in a park.

“I did uncover 867 individuals as being unhoused, but there’s a lot of gray area because certain traffic infractions, driving on a revoked license, coupled with in

surance and registration issues, (you) can easily imagine people who are living in their cars or ve hicles who go undetected through some of these means are just not identified as homeless. So I do believe this is a fairly conserva tive number, although seemingly large,” Longa said.

The data in the set was made up of 31% white, 26% Hispanic, 19% American Indian, 9% Black and 14% unknown individuals. American Indians are less than 5% of the entire Albuquerque population and Black people are approximately 3%, according to Longa.

There also is an underreport ing of mental illness in unhoused individuals, according to Longa, due to most cases not going to trial and never being assessed. Around 12% of the unhoused in the data set were listed as in competent to stand trial by the courts, but according to a U.S. Housing and Urban Development Report, 25% of the unhoused in New Mexico are “severely mentally ill.”

In APD’s use of force report, out of 1,000 police calls, only

3.2% of cases out of 1,000 calls are responded to with force. However, most calls do not have officers sent to the scene, accord ing to Longa.

“This is a rather misleading sta tistic. Since many calls for service do not result in an interaction …. a more accurate measure of the frequency in which APD uses force would be to report the num ber of force cases per interaction. In the cases I surveyed, police has reported 72 use of force incidents against the unhoused, 39 force cases per 1,000 interactions,” Longa said.”

In 2014, a U.S. Department of Justice investigation found that APD uses excessive force at a rate that violates federal law. In re sponse, APD must now have an independent review conducted to assess the use of force. The review that covered part of the Longa’s data set showed that APD has continued to use excessive force despite the independent reviews.

Longa also discussed fines that accompany arrests, which most unhoused individuals serve as jail time in the absence of payment.

“The courts issued 1,917 war

rants against 716 unhoused individuals, and each time a warrant was issued, a $100 fine. Additional fees were assigned to defendants when they were con victed. And as of July 1, 2022, the court had assessed nearly a quarter-million dollars in fines and fees against just 737 on hous ing. Two-thirds of them paid off their debt by serving time in jail referred to in the case file or regis ter of actions as jail in lieu of fines and fees,” Longa said.

The Albuquerque Community Service Department, which was introduced as an alternate option to the police to be dispatched in mental health crises and situ ations where law enforcement is not necessary, received 8,224 calls in its first six months. Since they receive a considerably small er budget and have limited hours of service, this data was not con sidered in the study, according to Longa.

Volleyball: Team falls to Boise State ahead of conference tournament

By Thomas Bulger

@ThomasBulger10

The University of New Mexico volleyball team lost to the Boise State University Broncos 3-2 in the final regular season game at home on Saturday, Nov. 19. Before the match, UNM head coach Jon Newman-Gonchar honored both Lobo and Bronco seniors with flow ers, and the fans gave Lobo seniors — Alena Moldan, Avital Jaloba, and Anilee Sher — a standing ovation.

UNM has clinched a spot in the Mountain West conference tourna ment with their win over Utah State University on Thursday, Nov. 17.

Uxue Guereca led the team in kills with 18. Kaitlynn Biassou had 12 kills and tied with Jaloba for most blocks with 8.

For the Broncos, both Paige Bartsch and Lauren Ohlinger had excellent scoring with each having 21 points.

The Lobos scored the first point of the first set off a successful coach’s challenge. The Broncos tied the game 3-3 and took the lead off an Annie Kaminski spike. UNM an swered with a 5-0 run that forced Boise to take a timeout down 9-5.

UNM scored out of the timeout by forcing an attack error at the net, but their run was ended by an Oh linger kill. The Lobos continued to dominate the set: Guereca had a forceful spike to put the Lobos up 15-7. UNM stayed in control, and at set point Guereca had a kill to win the set 25-15 and gave UNM the lead in the match 1-0.

The second set started with UNM getting called for a double hit vio lation. The Lobos called a timeout down 11-7 to try to stop the Bron cos 5-0 scoring run. UNM went on a run to cut into the Broncos lead which forced Boise to call a timeout up 16-11.

The Broncos stayed in front the rest of the set, but the Lobos kept the match competitive. At set point, Bartsch had a kill for the Bron cos to win the set 25-16 and tie the

match 1-1.

The third set started with an Ash ley Hayden ace. The Broncos did not lose any momentum and quickly went up 9-4. The Lobos then called a timeout down 12-6.

UNM erupted out of the timeout for a 6-0 run with Moldan at the serve that tied the set 16-16. Boise called a timeout up 22-21 but stayed in control and won the set off of a Bartsch kill 25-22. The Broncos took the lead in the match 2-1.

The Lobos scored the first points of the fourth set, but the Broncos did not slow down. Bartsch had a dominant spike to put the Broncos up 6-4. UNM did not quit, though, going on a run: Biassou got a block to tie the game up for the Lobos at

10-10. Both teams refused to let the other team pull ahead, tying the game up four times. The Lobos were up 15-14 at the media timeout.

Out of the timeout, UNM went on a 4-0 run to build a lead in the set. Kali Wolf had a kill to establish a set point and Biassou had a block to win the set 25-20 and tie the match 2-2.

The fifth and final set of the match started with a Hayden ace. UNM tied the game 7-7 after an intense back and forth rally, but the Bron cos pulled ahead. The Lobos called a timeout down 10-8.

Wolf then had a kill out of the timeout, and Jaloba had a serving ace to again tie the game for the Lobos. The Broncos pulled ahead

again, and Jordan Miller had a kill to set up match point at 14-12. UNM put up a good effort, but it wasn’t enough: the Lobos lost the set 15-12 and the match 3-2.

After the match, Newman-Gonchar previewed the upcoming tournament and gave credit to the departing seniors.

“We’re thrilled to have earned the right to play in (the tournament), and I think the reality for us is we’ve never been a team that is defined by outcomes: we’re defined by how our process is and how hard we work … This team has never backed down, and we’re going to keep fighting this entire time and I’m excited for this group to go up to Fort Collins and let it rip and play for everything … We’re just so grateful that (the

seniors have) dedicated their sea sons to us and the fact that we get to go out and honor them with our play. We get to go and represent everything that is Lobo volleyball,” Newman-Gonchar said.

The Lobos play as the fifth seed in the conference tournament where they will first play Utah State Univer sity, a team they just defeated 3-1. They play in Fort Collins, Colorado on Wednesday, Nov. 23 at 4:00 p.m.

Football: Lobo offense not enough to take on San Diego State

By Thomas Bulger @ThomasBulger10

The University of New Mexico football team lost to the San Di ego State University Aztecs 34-10 in their final home game on Fri day, Nov. 18. It was also senior night for the Lobos, which gave fans a chance to say goodbye to the team’s 12 seniors.

It was the second coldest home game in Lobo football his tory: at kickoff, it was 30 degrees. The coldest home game in his tory was against Brigham Young University in November 1976.

UNM is on an eight-game los ing streak that started back in September. The Lobos now have a 2-9 overall record and have yet to win a conference game.

Quarterback CJ Montes start ed due to injuries and had a respectable game, throwing for 112 yards and earning the team’s only touchdown. He did give up an interception, though. Wide receiver Trae Hall had 47 yards on four catches. Nathaniel Jones rushed for 68 yards and Chris tian Washington had 84 yards on three kick returns. However, this wasn’t enough for the Lobos to make it a close game.

On defense, Jerrick Reed II and Cody Moon had standout performances with 15 and 13 tackles, respectively.

New Mexico won the coin toss and chose to receive the ball. After a touchback, the Lobos were unable to earn a first down and punted. On their first drive, SDSU got a first down with quar terback Jalen Mayden rushing for 12 yards on third-and-1. SD SU’s Mekhi Shaw was wide open and scored a touchdown from a 51 yard pass from Mayden. Jack Browning’s extra point was good and put the Aztecs up 7-0 with 9:23 left in the first quarter.

On the Lobos’ next drive, on third-and-8 after a 7-yard pass to Luke Wysong, UNM was bailed out by a roughing the passer call

which led to 15 yards and an au tomatic first down. Jones ran for an incredible 51 yards and beat multiple defenders, but he was brought down at San Diego’s 5-yard line. Montes ran in for the touchdown and Luke Drze wiecki’s kick tied the game 7-7 with 5:45 left in the quarter.

Both teams then had a failed drive and the first quarter ended with the game tied 7-7.

The defense gave up an other big play with Tyrell Shavers catching a pass for a gain of 63 yards. The Aztecs scored a touchdown with Jaylon Arm stead rushing for a yard. The successful extra point put SDSU up 14-7 with 11:12 in the second quarter.

On UNM’s next drive, Montes passed to Hall for a gain of 17 yards, but it was followed with an interception by Aztec Dallas Branch. On SDSU’s third-and-9, Mayden connected with Shaw for 17 yards to keep the Aztec drive alive and push into UNM’s ter ritory. On third-and-2, UNM’s defense held SDSU to a gain of

a yard. The Aztecs went for it on fourth down, but Reco Hannah was able to shut down the drive via a tackle on Armstead for a loss of a yard.

The Lobo offense was unable to get anything going, and on the punt attempt, the Lobos fumbled the snap which put the Aztecs on UNM’s 26-yard line. Mayden threw 30 yards to Shaw again for a touchdown. After the extra point, SDSU was up 21-7 with 1:48 left in the game.

On their next drive, the Lobo offense moved into the Aztecs territory on a pass to Hall for a gain of 21 yards. Wysong then caught a pass for 7 yards, but failed to go out of bounds to stop the clock. UNM was forced to burn a timeout with 35 seconds left in the half. The Lobos gained 5 yards off a pass to Hall and used their last timeout to set up a successful Drzewiecki 29 yard field goal. The Lobos were down 21-10 at the end of the first half.

To have any chance to win the game, the Lobos would have to break their seven-game streak of

no second-half touchdowns.

At the start of the second half, San Diego’s Kenan Christon ran for 49 yards and a touchdown on fourth-and-1. SDSU hit another extra point to go up 28-10 with 12:08 left in the third quarter.

Washington returned the kick for 38 yards to put the Lobo offense on their own 42 yard line, but the Lobos were unable to capitalize and punted after three plays.

After giving up 4 first downs, UNM’s defense held the Aztecs to a 30 yard field goal. SDSU was winning 31-10 with 3:50 remain ing in the quarter. The Lobo of fense wasn’t able to get anything going and a short punt put the Aztecs on UNM’s 45-yard line. The third quarter ended with San Diego deep into Lobo territory and up 31-10.

Reed had an interception in the end zone to end the Aztec drive. But the offense was still stagnant, unable to earn a first down. The Aztecs hit a 39-yard field goal to go up 34-10 with 8:21 left in the game.

On UNM’s next drive, Geor

don Porter caught a 3-yard pass, but he was then face masked and gained 15 yards off of the penalty. The offense gave all those yards back, though, by getting called for delay of game, followed by a sack and then a grounding penalty. UNM punted on fourth-and-16.

SDSU was able to run out the clock and won 34-10. With the win, the Aztecs advanced to 7-3 overall record and are 5-2 in the conference. They are in the hunt to win their division and to be invited to the conference cham pionship game.

After the game, Montes talk ed about his performance in the game and handling the cold weather.

“I always prepare like I’m go ing to play anyways, even when I’m third string, fourth string — doesn’t matter — I’m watching film, just taking mental reps in the back. For my performance, I think I did okay. It’s my first start since last year, I think you see progression and that’s all that matters: getting better every year, every game … Being from Cali, (it) doesn’t usually get this cold, but … I think I did well,” Montes said.

When asked about the state of the program, head coach Danny Gonzales commented on his plans going forward.

“You always go through and digest every single thing you’re doing wrong. Obviously our sec ond half has been horrendous. We haven’t made adjustments, and then you have to be able to score points. You’re not going to win games scoring 10 points a game,” Gonzales said.
