Two students killed, two injured by crash Other vehicle was at fault, police say

By Jonathan Baca Two UNM students were killed and two more are in critical condition after a hit-and-run car accident late Friday night.

A UNM spokesperson confirmed that Briana Hillard, a senior in business administration and a sister in the Pi Beta Phi sorority, and Matthew Grant, a junior in criminology and a former member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, died after the car they were in was T-boned near the intersection of Rio Grande Boulevard and Bellemah Avenue.

According to police, Julia Thompson, a junior speech and hearing sciences major and fellow Pi Beta Phi sister, and Joe Mendoza, a junior communication and journalism major, who were also in the car, were both still in the hospital in critical condition as of Saturday night.

Dean of Students Tomas Aguirre spent much of Saturday at the hospital with the families, and contacted President Bob Frank, who was with the Lobo basketball team in Puerto Rico, according to a UNM spokesperson. Director of Student Activities Debbie Morris and her team are currently working

Nearly a month after the Con-Jikan anime festival held at the SUB, the UNM Police Department is still investigating the theft of $2,000 worth of merchandise.

Twice in two years ConJikan has dealt with theft. At last year’s event about $7,000 in cash and merchandise was stolen.

Representatives of the SUB said they are not responsible for either crime.

The most recent theft took place after the event closed around midnight on Nov. 1, and before 8 a.m. the next morning, according to the UNMPD report.

Lt. Tim Stump, public relations officer for UNMPD, said he was unable to comment beyond saying the investigation is still ongoing.

Justin Brough, one of the founders of Con-Jikan, said the event did not have any form of security last year, and he decided that this year they would use the security company recommended by the SUB. Securitas, a nationwide security company contracted through the SUB, is the company Brough contacted.

Brough said it was disheartening to have thefts two years in

a row despite the security he paid for this year.

“Last year we lost over $7,000 in cash and merchandise, mostly cash,” Brough said. “Our insurance policy at the time covered liquid losses.”

“I reached out to the Student Union Building, and they told me that (they) are not liable. That was basically the message that I got on all fronts.”

Justin Brough co-founder of Con-Jikan However, to recover from last year’s loss was still difficult, as he had to pay a lot out of pocket, he said.

Brough said he also lost a few vendors this year because of the theft.

“This year $2,000 in merchandise was stolen despite using the security the SUB recommended,” he said. “Gamers Anonymous was the only vendor hit during the break-in.”

Should President Obama have bypassed Congress to achieve immigration reform?

“No, I think the president shouldn’t have any extra power than what the rest of Congress has. He shouldn’t be able to make decisions without consulting everyone else, regardless of what it is.”

“Yeah, I am okay with that because I think that if people are in dire straits and they need a different place to live and work and be in this world, I think they should be allowed to try to find that as well as they can. If that means they have to illegally come into a country, as long as they are willing to work and put forth the effort, then I think they should be allowed to.”

“Yes, because people come to America from all over the world because it is the greatest country on Earth. So they come here to build a better life for them and their families, to break the chain of whatever traditions that obviously haven’t been working for generations…I do believe that we need to welcome minorities into America because ultimately America was built from a minority group.”

“No, I don’t think he should.

I don’t think the way our government is set up is to bypass things. They are set up for a reason: There are checks and balances so we don’t bypass things and do things on his own.

He’s kind of controlling. We will see how it plays out.”

“I don’t think so. That’s what Congress is there for; he’s supposed to go through. That’s my opinion.

If the president could just bypass Congress in any manner, he could just do whatever the hell he wanted.”

“I would want him to follow all of the rules to some extent, but other presidents — Bush — have done that in the past: carry out executive orders whether or not Congress has supported them. I don’t know, I am torn on that issue, actually. I do believe in immigration reform. I think that what conservative Republicans are trying to do is not okay. I would lean more toward yes.”

Obama acts alone on immigration Darlene Superville HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — President Barack Obama is shrugging off Republican criticism of his actions to lift the threat of deportation from millions of immigrants living illegally in the United States.

In an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Obama said it was important that he act unilaterally to prioritize the deportation of criminals and recent arrivals and spare those who have lived here illegally for at least five years and have roots, including children who are American citizens.

“Why would we prefer a system in which they’re in the shadows, potentially taking advantage of living here but not contributing?” Obama said in the interview, which was taped Friday in Las Vegas after Obama delivered a speech there.

The president pointed to executive orders issued by Democratic and Republican predecessors and said presidents exercise “prosecutorial discretion all the time.”

Obama’s executive actions, which he announced Thursday, have drawn a withering response from Republicans, but also has laid bare divisions within the GOP over how to deal with immigration.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, rejected Obama’s claim of prosecutorial discretion. “Essentially, he’s gotten into the job of counterfeiting immigration papers be-

cause there’s no legal authority to do what he’s doing,” Cruz said on “Fox News Sunday.”

A second Republican, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, said his party shares the blame for failing to get an immigration bill through the House of Representatives.

“Shame on us as Republicans for having a body that cannot generate a solution to an issue that is national security, it’s cultural and it’s economic.

The Senate has done this three times,” Graham said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Indeed, Obama cast his decision as the result of the Republican-led House’s failure to act on a comprehensive immigration bill the Senate passed with bipartisan support in June 2013, or advance legislation of its own.

He said Republicans still could pass an immigration bill.

Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that he had pressed the Republican leadership to start passing legislation two weeks ago on the immigration issue.

“We are going to pass legislation, but it is not going to be the legislation the president is asking for,” Labrador said. “We as Republicans don’t believe you should give amnesty first and talk about security later, which is what the Senate bill did.”

According to the police report, there did not appear to be any forced entry, and the security officer that was working had already left.

The police report states that UNMPD made attempts to contact the security guard identified as Chrystal Thompson, but had not received any responses.

The Daily Lobo also attempted to reach Thompson, as well as Securitas, but received no response.

Building manager Sean Overlin said he was on staff and showed Thompson around on the night of the theft.

Overlin said he believed contact had been made with Thompson, but was not sure.

There are security cameras in the SUB, but Overlin said he did not review any of the footage.

There is one door that remains unlocked, but that was it.

Brough lamented that no one is ready to take responsibility, he said.

“I reached out to the Student Union Building, and they told me that (they) are not liable. That was basically the message that I got on all fronts,” Brough said. “I asked the building manager if we would be safe leaving stuff and he said ‘probably not.’”

In an email sent to Brough, the SUB administration declined to take responsibility.

“We feel that we did everything we could under the circumstances,” the email stated. “Michael Tuttle, who is Mgr. Risk Management Insurance & Claims for Safety & Risk Service [sic], said that anything personal that is left in a room, out in the open and anywhere on campus and it is stolen, the University is not held responsible.”

Kanan Mammadli / Daily Lobo / @KenanMammadly

David Mish, right, and Austin Norwood have a conversation during ConJikan at the SUB on Nov. 2. Con-Jikan, a local anime convention, has dealt with thefts during its first two years in Albuquerque.

According to the letter the SUB administration also informed Brough that the administration was unable to waive the room rental fee.

“If you would like security overnight it can be arranged through the security company at extra cost. We charge a 7% [sic] room rental fee for all student groups that charge admission to their events, so we cannot make an exception for one group without doing for other groups,” the letter stated.

Ultimately, whoever stole the items is responsible, Brough said, but some of the responsibility falls on the SUB. He said he believes there are not enough efforts being made to solve the issue, primarily because the theft was relatively small.

Jon Sakura, owner of Gamers Anonymous, said he was frustrated when he walked into Ballroom

C that Sunday morning and saw that many of his belongings had been moved or stolen.

“The most frustrating part of all of it was the disregard for someone else’s property,” he said.

Among the items stolen was a valuable collection of games that took 15 years to build, Sakura said.

Other items that were stolen include gaming equipment, games and controllers. A monitor was also damaged.

“It set us back in terms of morale and frustration,” Sakura said. “It was all expendable stuff that we use specifically for events like this, so it deterred our ability to go to events like this for a while.

“It’s just insane to me that we lost two incredible lives due to someone just wanting a truck,” Bilderback said. “We lost so much due to something so little.”

Bilderback said she saw Thompson and Mendoza in the hospital Saturday night.

“They’re both stable as of now,” she said. “They’re very much still injured, so it’s going to be a while until they’re fully functioning.”

A memorial for the deceased is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, but a funeral service for Hillard is

being postponed until Thompson and Mendoza are well enough to attend, Bilderback said.

In a post on Pi Beta Phi’s national Facebook page, the sorority said it was devastated by the events.

“Please keep their families, sisters and friends in your thoughts and prayers as they begin to cope with such horrific circumstances,” the post read.

with the sorority to offer grief counseling, the spokesperson said.

Christina Bilderback, a senior biology major and Hillard’s roommate, said she is heartbroken at the loss of her friend, and offers condolences to all families involved.

“Bri was the most positive person that may have ever lived,” Bilderback said. “She never had a negative thing to say or to feel or to think throughout her entire 21 years. She loved everyone, she loved UNM, she loved Pi Phi, she loved life.”

The driver of the other car was 21-year-old Joshua Leal, who is

currently being held at Bernalillo County Metro Detention Center on a $750,000 cash/surety bond.

He is being charged with vehicular homicide, child abuse, unlawful taking of a motor vehicle, larceny of a firearm and tampering with evidence.

In a news release Saturday, APD spokesman Fred Duran said Leal was driving a stolen truck when he crashed into the students’ vehicle, flipping it over. Leal and his passenger, 16-year-old Miguel Hernandez, tried to flee the scene

and were later arrested. A stolen gun was found in the truck.

A police spokesperson said a witness saw the truck “driving aggressively” in the area, and said that Leal was completely at fault in the accident.

Hillard died at the scene, and Grant was pronounced dead at the hospital, according to the APD spokesman.

Bilderback said she was disgusted to learn that the two suspects tried to run from the scene of the accident, leaving Grant and Hillard to die.

Student group’s display a bait-and-switch Editor, On Friday the Students for Life were outside providing information, at a quick glance, on rape. With further exploration it became clear that their table of information and handouts was littered with pregnancy resources, birth control information and anti-abortion literature and available services.

While their large banners read “What About RAPE?,” none of the information provided was associated with resources for victims of sexual violence. From a campus safety perspective, this was poorly thought-out and put-together.

As we know, sexual assault is one of the most underreported crimes; therefore, pushing anti-abortion agendas, offering rape whistles and posting large signs that say “RAPE” can have serious negative effects on a large proportion of our UNM community.

It is estimated that one in five college women will experience sexual assault while in school, although one is entirely too many in my opinion. How dare a student organization, or anyone for that matter, use rape and sexual assault as a tool to wedge in a conversation about abortion?

Talking with students about sexual assault should be about supporting one another, regardless of personal decisions, and providing the appropriate services such as counseling, academic and legal assistance, prophylaxis and emergency contraception if the victim so chooses.

For this group to mention working with the Dean of Students while only pushing their organization’s anti-abortion agenda is not just a slap in the face to all victims, but also to the Dean of Students, the entire University and the Task Force they are now representing. Providing students and victims with resources is about just that: providing resources. Shaming women, particularly victims of rape, into keeping a pregnancy is not a decision that should be made by anyone other than the victim.

A study done by Holmes, Resnick, Kilpatrick and Best (1996) estimated that 5 percent of rapes result in pregnancy. What about the other 95 percent of women who are raped? What services are being offered to them? Or do they not matter because their assault did not result in a pregnancy?

This group, along with their agenda and lack of accurate information and resources, is a disgrace to the UNM community, administration and all those affected by sexual violence.

As a member of the UNM community, I am deeply saddened and disappointed in these efforts that are taking place, particularly at a time when sexual violence on college campuses are gaining national attention. We need forward momentum in an effort to support victims’ varying methods of healing, regardless of our own beliefs and value systems.

Sincerely, Angela Catena Daily Lobo reader

Support, not shame is needed after assault Editor, Some people might have seen Students for Life’s display addressing the issue

of sexual violence on campus, but what many might not have realized in passing was that this display was actually a front to push a particular viewpoint that in fact stigmatizes some survivors of sexual assault: those that have abortions after being raped.

Students for Life used this issue to hand out propaganda that claims that abortion is not acceptable even in cases of rape, which is an extreme position that not even all pro-life people share. Students for Life was making claims alongside their display that women who have abortions, including in cases of rape, later regret it.

First of all, the collection of such statistics is suspiciously slanted, but is it any wonder that some women might regret terminating a pregnancy after a sexual assault given the traumatic nature of the conception and the fact that people in their community — people such as those in Students for Life — work to shame them for their decision? There is rarely, if ever, a clear correlation indicating that the procedure itself is the cause of later mental illness. Implying that women who get abortions, even if they were dealing with sexual violence, are murdering children does not support women who have survived sexual assault.

I’m not against the message of supporting sexual assault survivors and working to prevent sexual assault on campus or anywhere else, but Students for Life’s effort to deal with this issue was a terrible approach, one that abuses the message of support and solidarity with survivors.

Sexual assault is a serious issue, and it’s wrong to use it in order to propagate an extreme political view that undermines a sexual assault survivor’s way of maintaining control of her own body, her personal choice to heal and reconcile what has happened to her. The choice of a sexual assault survivor to terminate a resulting pregnancy is not a wrong choice.

It’s just as important to believe someone’s claim that they have been sexually assaulted or raped as it is to support that person no matter what conditions surround that incident. Spreading information that

abortion is wrong, even in cases of rape, isn’t much different from victim blaming when it comes to sexual assault. That Students for Life used sexual violence prevention as a means to spread their anti-choice rhetoric was an entirely inappropriate way to address the issue.

If anyone on campus is dealing with sexual assault and would like fully supportive resources, I would recommend consulting the Women’s Resource Center, where your choices will not be judged under any circumstances whatsoever.

Sincerely, Kendall Lovely President of the Leadership Alliance

Majority

Task force’s approach to violence misguided Editor, I was deeply disturbed on Friday when I was walking in front of the SUB to find the campus organization Students for Life using cases of rape and sexual assault to push their anti-choice agenda.

I was even more disturbed to find out that some of these students are part of the Sexual Violence Task Force on the UNM campus.

This group is using the UNM administration and cases of rape and sexual assault to push their own anti-choice agenda, complete with tactics of fear, shame and victim-blaming. They had incorrect facts and were handing out “rape whistles,” which further perpetuates the idea that the prevention of rape should fall in the hands of the victim.

How can the administration be working alongside these students to push an agenda so obviously degrading to women?

As a victim of sexual assault, I am still in shock and reeling from such a triggering experience.

If a woman is raped, the last thing she

needs is a lecture about how shameful abortion is. If a woman becomes pregnant as the result of a rape, she should not be forced to carry the pregnancy to term.

As a university, we should not be shaming women into these anti-abortion ideals and resources. As a campus, we should be offering students all of their options, not pushing an agenda on them and judging them for their decisions, no matter what those may be.

As I write this letter, I am ashamed of UNM and its inability to understand issues of sexual violence and consent. Student groups should not be allowed to use women’s bodies, women’s experiences and victims of sexual violence to further their agendas on campus, especially when those groups don’t seem to be very educated on the ways in which rape and sexual assault aren’t about sex, but about power.

By using issues of sexual violence to shame women out of abortion, this group has not only triggered victims on campus (which, statistically, will be 1 in 5 women), but has set a precedent that says it is okay to invalidate women’s personal experiences. All across the country, colleges seem to be making an effort to curb this kind of ignorance, but I guess the UNM administration is behind the times, and unable to see the many ways in which this is harmful, hurtful and offensive to students.

In the future, UNM needs to make sure that when groups are talking about such a serious matter, there is enough appropriate oversight so as to not push personal agendas and further ostracize victims (which not only lifts up rape culture, but deters students from seeking services and reporting).

Manning, Anderson lead Broncos to win

By Arnie Stapleton

DENVER (AP) — The Denver Broncos finally found the balance — and the win — they’ve so desperately sought to stop their November slide.

Peyton Manning threw three of his four TD passes to Demaryius Thomas and C.J. Anderson ran for 167 yards and the go-ahead score in the Broncos’ 39-36 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.

Anderson’s 6-yard run with 5:01 left gave the Broncos (8-3) their first lead of the game at 32-28.

Then, Ryan Tannehill’s pass skipped off Jarvis Landry’s left hand to T.J. Ward, whose 37-yard return set up Wes Welker’s insurance TD catch.

The Broncos needed it after Tannehill drove the Dolphins (6-5) on another scoring drive, hitting Landry from a yard out with 1:34 left. Lamar Miller’s 2-point dive made it a threepoint game.

The Dolphins’ onside kick was recovered by — who else? — Anderson, who sealed the game with a 26yard run.

After the Broncos ran just nine times for 28 yards at St. Louis a week earlier, offensive coordinator Adam Gase said he could take some heat off his much maligned O-line by calling for more handoffs and fewer drop-backs.

The Broncos ran the ball 35 times and threw it 35 times.

Anderson, who had 27 carries, caught four passes for 38 yards.

Manning became the third player

in NFL history with touchdown passes in 50 consecutive games, joining Drew Brees (54) and Tom Brady (52).

He completed 28 of 35 passes for 257 yards and no interceptions on a cool Colorado evening.

Emmanuel Sanders led the way with nine catches for 125 yards a week after sustaining a concussion.

Thomas finished with 10 catches for 87 yards, failing to match Calvin “Megatron” Johnson’s NFL record of eight straight 100-yard games.

His consolation was three touchdowns.

The Broncos’ O-line opened up holes and kept Manning upright — his only blemish was a “self-sack” in which he lost his footing on thirdand-1 from the 7.

Tannehill (26 for 36 for 227 yards with three TDs) kept the Dolphins a step ahead much of the afternoon until Ward’s interception.

Two big blunders on special teams prevented the Broncos from taking control in the third quarter.

After Denver drove to the Dolphins 7 on the strength of nine runs, Manning slipped on third-and-1 for a sack. Then, Brandon McManus clanked a 33-yard field goal try off the right upright.

His teammates could hardly hide their anguish. On the sideline, center Manny Ramirez ripped his helmet off and hollered at McManus and Thomas slammed his helmet to the ground.

The Broncos forced a quick punt

by Miami, but Isaiah Burse fumbled the punt at his own 12, leading to

Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning (18) hands off to C.J. Anderson against the Miami Dolphins during the first half of an NFL football game against the Miami Dolphins, Sunday, in Denver

Tannehill’s 5-yard TD toss to Landry that gave Miami a 28-17 lead.

Manning drove the Broncos downfield and found Thomas from 5 yards out, then hit Sanders with the

2-point pass to pull Denver to 28-25 with 14:09 remaining.

In a matchup of contenders with dominant defenses and suspect offensive lines, both the Dolphins and

Broncos scored on three of their four first-half drives.

Cundiff ’s field goal puts Browns past Falcons

By Paul Newberry

ATLANTA (AP) — After being suspended for Cleveland’s first 10 games, Josh Gordon had no trouble remembering how to play the game.

Fortunately for the Browns, Brian Hoyer was able to forget some costly mistakes.

Gordon turned in a huge performance in his first game of the

season, catching eight passes for 120 yards, and Hoyer shook off three interceptions to lead a drive in the final minute that set up Billy Cundiff ’s 37-yard field goal as time expired Sunday, giving the Browns a 26-24 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

“I knew the guys weren’t going to quit on me,” Gordon said. “I definitely wasn’t going to quit on them.”

Taking advantage of the last of

Hoyer’s picks, the Falcons drove for Matt Bryant’s 53-yard field goal with 44 seconds remaining to seize the lead.

Turns out, they left too much time on the clock.

Hoyer completed four straight passes, including a 24-yarder to Gordon down the middle of the field.

The last of the throws went to Miles Austin, who took it to the Falcons 19.

?

Trivia Contest

The Browns (7-4) hustled to the line, spiked the ball with 5 seconds left, and sent on Cundiff for his fourth field goal of the game.

“Nothing to lose, really,” Hoyer said. “Go out and play fearless. That’s all I have at that point.”

After serving his punishment for violating the league’s substance abuse policy, Gordon started for Cleveland and was

targeted a game-high 16 times.

“How did I hold up? Pretty good,” he said. “The adrenalin will keep you going.”

The Falcons (4-7) came in on a two-game winning streak and improbably tied for first with New Orleans in the woeful NFC South.

FOOTBALL

Lobos lose competitive edge against Rams

By Thomas Romero-Salas

For the first time this year New Mexico was outclassed from start to finish.

Despite being competitive in almost every game so far this season, UNM was dismantled by No. 22 Colorado State 58-22 in Fort Collins, Colorado on Saturday.

Rams running back Dee Hart ran for a career-high 230 rushing yards and scored six touchdowns (five rushing, one receiving). It’s the second straight year that a Colorado State tailback scored six touchdowns against UNM; former CSU halfback Kapri Bibbs did it last year.

CSU (10-1, 6-1 Mountain West) had no problems moving the ball at will, finishing with 698 total yards of offense. Senior quarterback Garrett Grayson completed 23 of 29 passes for 389 yards and three scores.

The win is the Rams’ ninth straight overall.

“It kind of caved in on us,” UNM head coach Bob Davie said.

“I think the overall immaturity really showed, and it jumped up and bit us.”

UNM kick returner Ridge Jones didn’t do the team any favors with fumbles on the first and third kickoffs of the game. Those mishaps helped the Rams to a 20-0 lead in the second quarter.

The Lobos had four turnovers overall; the other two were interceptions thrown by quarterback Lamar Jordan. He finished with just 55 yards passing, completing just 3 of 11 attempts.

“I don’t know if we’re consistent enough throwing the ball. We left some throws out there,” Davie said. “(Jordan) played okay; he played like a redshirt freshman. I look at it like one step more of valuable experience.”

Jones fumbled on the opening kickoff, giving the Rams a short field at UNM’s 24-yard line. Wide receiver Rashard Higgins turned the turnover into six points when Grayson found him for a 7-yard score.

The Rams went up 14-0 on their next possession after a long 16-play, 86-yard drive capped by Hart’s 2-yard score. On the ensuing kickoff, Jones fumbled again and CSU recovered at UNM’s 31.

Three plays later, Hart was in

the end zone again thanks to a 6-yard pass.

“Obviously, they’re a pretty good team. If you give them a short field like that, of course they’re going to take advantage,” redshirt freshman linebacker Kimmie Carson said. “That’s how the game got away from us.”

UNM did respond with a seven-play, 75-yard drive that ended when Lamar Jordan ran for a 10yard touchdown, cutting the Rams’ lead to just 20-7.

That was the closest UNM would get.

Hart scored the next two touchdowns to put the game out of reach.

He scored on a 76-yard scamper, then caught a 20-yard pass from Grayson for a 34-7 lead.

CSU went into halftime up 37-7 thanks to a 32-yard field goal by Jared Roberts.

“We’re still learning. As difficult as it is, I think we have to show them why things happen,” Davie said. “I think this team will

bounce back psychologically.”

Hart’s fifth and sixth touchdowns came on runs of 4 and 55 yards, respectively. Higgins caught his second touchdown pass in between those runs, a 28-yard pass.

He finished with 167 yards on 10 catches and two touchdowns.

UNM (3-8, 1-6 Mountain West) ran for 301 yards on the night.

and a score. Redshirt junior tailback Jhurell Pressley, who was hampered by an ankle injury, led the team with 109 rushing yards on seven touches. Sophomore halfback Teriyon Gipson was second with 86 yards on 13 attempts and a touchdown.

Sports Briefs Volleyball The New Mexico volleyball team lost in five sets at Fresno State on Friday night.

The set scores were 18-25, 2624, 25-22, 22-25 and 14-16.

UNM blew a potential 3-1 set advantage over Fresno State. In the fifth set, Fresno State earned the victory with back-to-back kills.

Outside hitter Chantale Riddle earned her 14th double-double of the season with 21 kills and 14 digs.

She is 20 kills away from breaking the Mountain West record for career kills.

Hannah Johnson had 54 assists and 6 digs in the loss.

The Lobos sit at 18-12 (107 Mountain West) and host Air Force on Tuesday for senior night.

Riddle and Elsa Krieg are the seniors to be honored.

Baseball UNM signed 15 recruits during the early signing period.

Of the 15 recruits, four are from New Mexico. There are 14 high school players from seven states.

“This is one of the better recruiting classes in New Mexico history,” head coach Ray Birmingham said in a release. “I tip my hat to Coach (Ken) Jacome and his recruiting efforts. He has done a super job bringing in good talent.

Now we just have to sweat losing some guys to the MLB Draft.”

Eight of the recruits are pitchers. Fernando Fernandez-Beltran is

meltdown, Atlanta dropped to 0-7 against teams outside its division.

Georgia native Isaiah Crowell scored a pair of touchdowns for the Browns, but it was Gordon who had the biggest impact.

His longest catch was the last one, taking the Browns to the Atlanta 45.

Hoyer followed with a 15-yard completion to tight end Gary Barnidge, who bounced off a couple of tacklers to pick up some extra yards. Austin’s 11-yard reception gave Cundiff an easy look.

“All we had to do was keep them from kicking that field goal,” Falcons linebacker Paul Worrilow said. “You’ve got to make a play at that point.”

Cundiff also hit from 33, 37, and 32 yards.

Hoyer, who was 23 of 40 for 322 yards, nearly gave it away for the Browns. The first of his picks turned

the momentum in Atlanta’s favor, leading to a touchdown that put the Falcons ahead 14-13 at halftime when it looked as though Cleveland might have a commanding lead.

In the fourth quarter, the Browns had first-and-goal at the Atlanta 6 and a chance to make it a two-score game when Hoyer, after scrambling out of trouble, inexplicably threw it up for Gordon in the back of the end zone instead of just tossing it away. Desmond Trufant made an interception to keep Cleveland’s lead at 23-21.

Atlanta was forced to punt with just under 4 minutes left, and Hoyer made another huge mistake. This time, he floated a deep pass down the sideline, only vaguely in Gordon’s direction, and Dezmen Southward came up with his first career interception.

Men’s golf The New Mexico men’s golf team had four players sign letters of intent to play for the Lobos next fall.

UNM’s four newest golfers are Sean Carlon, Augustin Hole, Samuel Kim and Tiger Lee. Carlon, an Albuquerque native, is a two-time state champion (2013-14).

Hole is ranked the No. 207 player in the World Amateur Golf Rankings.

He’s from Cherbourg, France.

The National Junior Golf Scoreboard rankings have Kim as the No. 31st golfer. The Irvine, California, native placed fifth at the Toyota Tour Cup College Showcase in March.

Lee, from Howey in the Hills, Florida, is the No. 179th golfer in the National Junior Golf scoreboard.

SWIMMING AND DIVING The New Mexico women’s swimming team earned seventh place at the Mizzou invite with 227 points.

UNM’s 400-yard freestyle took ninth place with a time of 3:25.88.

Celine Bertrand finished in ninth place, clocking in at 2:03.33.

Missouri took first with 1,118 points, FIU was second with 586 points and Nebraska was third with 513 points.

Diver Aundrea Scott was the only diver that placed. She finished 22nd in the women’s platform event with 151.20 points.

Niners remain in playoff hunt

By Janie McCauley

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco’s first-team offense that had failed to convert a fourth-quarter touchdown all season finally did so when the 49ers’ playoff hopes depended on it.

Carlos Hyde ran for a go-ahead 4-yard touchdown with 2:59 remaining, and San Francisco barely squeaked by the lowly Washington Redskins with a 17-13 win Sunday that kept them in the thick of the playoff chase.

A fourth-down conversion in their own territory away from losing, the Niners finally capitalized with a rare touchdown in the final period on the way to their third straight victory.

San Francisco (7-4) overcame

three turnovers.

Washington coach Jay Gruden won a challenge with 5:36 left that Vernon Davis hadn’t made a first down. San Francisco went for it and Frank Gore converted the fourthand-1. On the next play, Colin Kaepernick hit Anquan Boldin for a 29-yard gain and safety Ryan Clark was flagged for a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty for his hit on Boldin.

Boldin made a 10-yard reception two plays later, leading to Hyde’s score — the first TD by San Francisco’s first-team offense in the fourth quarter this season.

Kaepernick threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Boldin on San Francisco’s initial series but did little else offensively to break open what was expected to be a lopsided game.

San Francisco was a nine-point favorite in the opening betting line.

Boldin, who caught a pair of touchdown passes in a win at Washington last November, finished with nine catches for 137 yards.

Now, the Niners have a quick turnaround before facing the rival and defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks (7-4) at home Thursday night. Seattle won at home against Arizona on Sunday.

Kai Forbath kicked a 46-yard field goal with 7:42 to go that put Washington ahead. Alfred Morris ran for a season-best 125 yards and a touchdown for the Redskins (38), who lost their third in a row and fourth straight to the 49ers.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Lobos prepare for toughest challenge thus far

By Liam Cary-Eaves

The New Mexico women’s basketball team has played two top-25 teams in the opening three games, but soon will face its best opponent to date.

That will occur today against Stanford, picked No. 1 in the USA Today Coaches Poll. It will be the first time in UNM’s history that it will face three ranked opponents one after another in a single season.

“If you’re a competitor, you just want to win,” UNM head coach Yvonne Sanchez said. “We play to win and we prepare to win.”

Stanford was ranked the sixthbest team in the nation by the Associated Press, and that was before knocking the AP No. 1 UConn Huskies off of a 47-game winning streak. Following the 88-86 OT win, many regard Stanford as the top team in the nation. The AP Top 25 won’t be released until today.

Sanchez arranged the rigors of her schedule at the opening part of the season for the purpose of preparing the team early in the year. With plenty of basketball left in the young season, Sanchez said she wants the Lobos to have fun in these types of situations.

“I tell my kids to embrace it,” Sanchez said. “We have 26 games left and we’ve had a great schedule.”

Junior guard Bryce Owens said the immediacy of the difficult schedule will not only help the older individuals on the team improve, but will accelerate the learning of the underclassmen, especially the four freshmen.

“We can’t play scared and we

can’t back down,” Owens said. “It’s just another game; it’s just another team, just like we are.”

New Mexico (0-3) has struggled in the season’s early stages. The Lobos opened the season up in Chicago with the Maggie Dixon Classic.

The team dropped all three games, but was acquainted with some serious competition. UNM dropped a 61-59 loss to UTPA (42) on Nov. 14, the first game of the season, and was able to walk away knowing that they are never out of a game. The squad was a possession away from victory despite trailing by as much as 18 points.

Then the Lobos took on thenNo. 5 Texas A&M (4-0) and provided them with a competitive game. The Lobos only trailed by one point at halftime before the Aggies pulled away with a 66-52 victory.

Against the second ranked opponent in as many days, UNM stumbled on a 97-59 loss to thenNo. 18 DePaul (4-1). The Lobos had 39 turnovers in the loss due to DePaul’s full-court press.

“We learn from our mistakes and gain confidence,” Owens said.

“As we continue to practice and we continue to communicate and build team chemistry, on and off the court, we’ll be able to figure out those wins.”

Owens said her teammates are not getting down on themselves.

One of the positives, she said, is that the team is focusing on the day-to-day progress and not dwelling on what could have happened.

“We’re keeping our heads up,” Owens said. “We’re not looking at the losses and the things we did

wrong too much … We just get ready for the next day.”

The next tough test is here, and Sanchez said she is confident her team will play tough in the home opener after gaining the experience of facing two top-25 teams. She said the worry of playing arguably the best team in the nation won’t be as prominent now that the team has

seen a hefty dose of competition.

“We’ve already played (Texas) A&M; we’ve already played DePaul,” Sanchez said. “It’s a fun way to open up The Pit.” Liam Cary-Eaves is the assistant sports editor for the Daily Lobo. He can be reached at sports@dailylobo. com or on Twitter @Liam_CE.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Aggies rally to overtake UNM in second half

By Kyle Tomasi

Missing its leading scorer, the New Mexico men’s basketball team dropped its second game of the season to Texas A&M in the fifth-place game of the ESPN Puerto Rico Tip-Off on Sunday.

The Lobos (3-2) led 31-26 at halftime, but couldn’t stop a second-half rally by the Aggies. The Aggies defeated UNM 64-51 behind guard Danuel House’s 18 points, 11 of which came in the second half.

The Aggies shot a scorching 62.5 percent in the second half, following a mere 31 percent in the first half. Lobo head coach Craig Neal said he liked his team’s defense in the first half, but that the second half was a different story.

“It was a tale of two halves in this game,” he said. “I was impressed with our guys in the first half. I thought they battled, but didn’t take the punch in the second half to respond and we couldn’t really get anything going.”

Senior guard Deshawn Delaney seemed to be the only Lobo to find a groove offensively.

He had a team-high 13 points (4 of 10 FG, 4 of 5 FT) and added three rebounds.

Hugh Greenwood was the only other Lobo in double-digits as he finished with 10 points, four rebounds and seven assists.

He struggled once again from the floor, only going 3 of 12, and

connecting on 1 of 7 attempts from 3-point range.

Turnovers have hurt the Lobos this season, and Sunday’s game was no different. The team turned the ball over 16 times, which led to 16 Aggie points. However, UNM forced 12 turnovers and converted 12 points off of them as well.

The Lobos were without their leading scorer Cullen Neal (17.0 points per game). He missed his second straight game due to an ankle injury he sustained early in the second half against Boston College on Thursday. His return is still questionable and he will receive an MRI this week.

“We missed not having Cullen in the game, and it put a lot of extra pressure on Hugh,” Craig Neal said. “We need to relieve some of this pressure from Hugh. We have to get some guys handling the ball better and making plays.”

If one injured player wasn’t bad enough, the Lobos received news after the game that junior guard Arthur Edwards fractured his hand late in the second half of Sunday’s loss.

Craig Neal will be forced to play yet another starting lineup if Cullen Neal is not ready for their game on Sunday against USC. Craig Neal said he is optimistic that his young guys will step up, but needs to see consistency this coming week.

“I really like my team, and hopefully the newcomers will

get better,” he said. “We can’t keep making the same mental mistakes over and over. I told the guys if they keep doing it we

will keep subbing until we get consistent in doing it all right.”

The Lobos return to The Pit on Nov. 30 to host USC (2-3).
