Albuquerque, N.M. (Oct. 21, 2006)--No. 16 BYU was handed just its third tie of the season Saturday evening, as the Cougars didn't match the Lobos intensity, drawing 1-1.
With the tie the Cougars move to 12-2-3 on the season and 3-1-2 in conference play, while New Mexico goes to 7-6-4 on the season and 1-2-3 in Mountain West Conference action.
"New Mexico came out with a lot of intensity, and we weren't able to match it," head coach Jennifer Rockwood said. "We didn't come prepared to play the game today. It's very disappointing to travel all this way and not be prepared to play. But we're okay. We'll work hard this week and regroup for our last conference game before the tournament."
The Lobos netted a goal first when Bridgette Sanchez flicked a free kick to Amber Wetsch in the middle during the 31st minute. Wetsch one touched the ball into the left-hand corner of the net.
