LAS VEGAS - In its Mountain West Conference season opener, the UNLV women's soccer team fell to league rival New Mexico, 1-0, Sunday afternoon at Peter Johann Memorial Field.
New Mexico's Rachael Addison scored her second straight lone goal of the weekend on a rebounded shot off a defender deflection in the eighth minute. Addison netted the game-winner in the Lobos' 1-0 shutout of San Diego State on Friday night.

Senior co-captain Cristyn Enea (San Ramon, Calif.) took the PK, which was saved by Winters.
In the 79th minute, sophomore Blynnda Bascones (Las Vegas) had a diving header bounce off the goal post, one-of-six equalizing goal attempts made by the Rebels in the final minutes of regulation.
