PORTALES — At the rate it was going Sunday, Eastern New Mexico’s men’s soccer team would soon have worry about being the nationally-ranked team trying to avoid an upset and not the team trying to score the upset. That’s now reality. The Greyhounds, fresh off two wins over ranked opponents, Lund themselves No. 17 in the latest United States Soccer Coaches Association poll.
