New Mexico started three freshmen in its 1-0 loss at No. 1 UCLA last Saturday. All three hail from MLS academy teams: defenders Aaron Herrera (Real Salt LakeAZ) and Matt Dorsey (Houston Dynamo) and midfielder Patrick Khouri (FC Dallas). “With the kind of playerwe’re getting, it’s a funny term saying they’re freshmen,” UNM coach Jeremy Fishbein said. “They’ve got a lot of experience.I’ve told them in our meetings, ‘You’re not freshmen. You’ve got too much experience and there’s too much at stake.”
