ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - The 69th-ranked New Mexico men's tennis team continues its spring slate this week, as it hosts New Mexico State University, Saturday March 8. Match time is set for 3 p.m. at the Lobo Tennis Club and admission is free. After Saturday, the Lobos have only one home match remaining. The Lobos are 6-4 this spring season following a 6-1 win over Santa Clara University and a 6-1 loss to Region VII foe Boise State University. Results from the New Mexico State match will be available at GoLobos.com. SCOUTING THE AGGIES: The Aggies are 7-4 this season after having defeated Montana State University last week in their last home match. New Mexico State is 6-0 at home this year, but 1-4 on the road. "It's always a good match with them," UNM head coach Alan Dils said. "We beat them there last year, 4-3, but we won't be taking them lightly. As a player, if you can't get up for this one, then something's wrong."
LOBOS TO WATCH: With 25 wins so far this year, UNM senior Bart Scott is
eight wins away from becoming the third-winningest Lobo singles player in
school history. In his career, Scott is 86-44 overall (.662 pct.) and the
Lobos have 7 dual matches remaining, not including the Mountain West
Conference tournament. Pepe Caballero holds the record with 96 wins with
Takeshi Itoh just one win behind at 95.
Junior Divan Coetzee is ranked 114th in the latest ITA/Omni Hotels poll of
March 5, while the doubles tandem of Brent Salazar and Ryan Stotland checks
in at No. 51 for the Lobos.
