Isabel Gonzalez | April 23

After earning its first regular season title since 2008, the UNM men’s tennis team is still not satisfied. The No. 41 Lobos (19-9, 6-1) earned the top seed in the Mountain West men’s bracket after a 4-0 victory over the Air Force Falcons last Saturday. This was no small accomplishment, but UNM head coach Bart Scott says his team has a lot more to offer. “We are not satisfied. We are still very hungry,” he said.
