Late Scoring Not Enough for @FIUWBB Loss at UTEP

EL PASO, Texas (February 25, 2017) -- A rough start shooting put too much hill in front of FIU women's basketball to climb in the Mountain Time Zone as the Panthers suffered an 88-47 Conference USA road loss at UTSA in the Don Haskins Center Saturday.

The Panthers are 5-22 overall, 3-13 in Conference USA. The Miners are 8-20, 5-11 in C-USA. FIU is now two games out of 12th place in the standings and the final berth to the Conference USA Championships, presented by Metro PCS.

FIU hit its first two field-goal attempts, but despite working for open looks, finished the period 1-for-12, and did not hit a field goal in the final 5:31 of the frame.
