May 24—The Lobos have some work to do Sunday. New Mexico shot a 17-over-par 377 during Saturday's second round of the NCAA Championship, bringing their two-round score to 26-over in the 30-team tournament hosted by Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, Calif.

After that, the field is cut in half and 15 teams compete for eight spots in the championship-deciding match play format. Arizona State leads the tournament at 13-under while San Diego (+34) is in last place. Only five teams in the field are under-par. "You can't compete at this level if you can't put four scores together ... We are going to have to dig deep tomorrow," head coach Jake Harrington said in a release Saturday. "We have to play with some pride and some heart, play for each other and see what happens." The only Lobo to put up a red score Saturday, sophomore Wyatt Provence (+9) led UNM with a 1-under 71. Sophomore Oliver Cage (+4) also recorded his second-straight 2-over 74 and has the best cumulative score of any Lobo this week. "I am proud of Wyatt Provence with how he bounced back from yesterday's disappointment to shoot 1-under," Harrington said. "Ollie had another steady round that easily could have been under par today." Advertisement Senior Carson Herron (+17) recorded a 5-over 77 while freshman Clark Sonnenberg (+10) and junior Mesa Falleur carded an 11-over 83 and a 13-over 85, respectively. After Saturday, UNM has now made 13 double bogeys to tie for the most among the field. The Lobos are also tied for the sixth-most bogeys (41) and have made only 22 birdies; Wake Forest, South Carolina and Troy are last in the category with 21.

A.J. Haulcy Can be a Difference Maker for LSU
If LSU had any question marks on defense going into 2025, the secondary, and more specifically safety was at the top of their list. While the unit is loaded with potential, A.J. Haulcy brings experience and leadership that will be valuable to everyone on defense. On A.J.'s Instagram stories, he posted a picture of the campus and also a commitment graphic with the caption 'Let's make history 100! Nattyyyboyzz'. Advertisement He also shared a quote which sheds some light on his reasons for transferring. A.J. posted,, 'Switch your environment. Sometimes you gotta see more to be more.' In a graphic shared by Haulcy from Hayes Fawcett from On3, Haulcy is wearing the #2 jersey. A.J. wore the #2 last season but previously wore #24 at Houston and New Mexico. In light of Kyren Lacy's passing, I imagine the #2 will be extra meaningful this year. In 2022, Haulcy visited LSU's stadium as a freshman on the Lobos. Under the bright lights of Death Valley, A.J. performed well recording eight tackles. LSU won the game 38-0. Last season, A.J. started in all 12 games for Houston at safety. He tied for the Big 12 lead with five interceptions and was second in the conference with 13 passes defended. Haulcy was selected by Phil Steele as an All-American honorable mention. He was selected first team All-Big 12 by the Associated Press, Phil Steele, and league coaches. Additionally, in 2023, Haulcy was also named Big 12 Conference honorable mention defensive newcomer of the year.
