Heres a wrap up from the Pat's website.
Opening weekend recap taken from the most recent press release . (You need adobe to read it) Finally, an updated roster

When did the new Japaneese player get here? He doesnt appear on the official roster.

According to the UNM soccer website, Narita and Carrasco were signed on April 22.

This is and excerpt from the article:

Narita transferred to UNM after one season at Tacoma Community College in Tacoma, Washington. A native of Beppu, Japan, Narita became the third All-American in Lobo history after being named to the 2002 CollegeSoccerNews.com Honorable Mention All-American Team, He was second on the team in scoring in the 2001 season with seven goals and was also second on the team in scoring in 2002 with five goals and eight assists. He has two of the Lobos three goals in NCAA Tournament play. Nartia also garnered 1st Team All-MPSF, MPSF All-Tournament, and 1st Team All-Midwest Region honors in 2002.

“I’m excited,” stated Narita. “It’s the next level after college soccer and I am looking forward to playing. They are a very technical and skillful team which fits my style of play. I have been playing soccer in the U.S. for three seasons and I hope to go further. I would like to go and play in Japan but if an opportunity with the MLS (Major League Soccer) came around I would do it.”


Sounds like both of these guys are studs. Good pickups for the Pats.

Very cool, Jeff. Yeah, Narita and Carrasco both look to do well on opposite sides of the midfield. Good to see Carrasco get the "A" on Pierce's goal, and Narita will get his own points in short order. He look really, really good Sunday. I think the staff wants them both in better condition -- neither has gone the full 90 -- but El Paso is a lot better with them on the wings.

If Ahmed Figueroa can calm down a bit, he stands to gain with extra room to move. With Narita out there on the wing, Figueroa's side of the field was opened up a lot more for him to create and he looked good Sunday, too. Carrasco replaced Ahmed both nights and looked to be that much more effective, though. And, yes, Carrasco's a local (Anthony, NM), so watch out.

Uh, when does CollegeSoccerNews make you a real "All-American"? NCAA, NAIA etc organizations name the true All-Americans.

I also like the Honorable Mention aspect.

Oh, and my wife really liked it one year when the NAIA All-American 1st team had only one American on it.

The politics behind the NCAA and NAIA All-American lists are not pretty and often start very early in the season with "qualifier" listings on such teams as All-Regional and Player of the Week.

A player, for instance, can be named to as Player of the Week several times and still not make it on the All-Region team which means you can't be nominated for the All-American team.

Sorry, this got me started on something that, as you can see, gets my goat a tad bit.
