The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Rainbow Warrior football team got back on the winning track with a 41-21 road victory over New Mexico State University on September 25, at Aggie Memorial Stadium. The Warriors improved to 2-3 on the season while snapping a two-game skid.
The former Western Athletic Conference rivals met for the first time in 10 years with UH continuing its domination of the Aggies (1-4). The Warriors remain undefeated in nine all-time meetings against New Mexico State with four of those wins coming in Las Cruces.
UH racked up 494 yards of offense, including 215 yards on the ground. Meanwhile the UH defense forced three turnovers, two of which led to UH touchdowns.
Defensive back Cameron Lockridge was selected as the Mountain West’s Defensive Player of the Week following his performance.
UH and New Mexico State will meet again October 23, in Honolulu as part of a rare in-season home-and-home series.
The Warriors next return home to host nationally ranked No. 18 Fresno State in a Mountain West match-up on Saturday, October 2. The Homecoming Game is set to kickoff at 5 p.m. at Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex.
