The Lobo offense was rolling early, but disappeared late in the game Saturday afternoon against the Colorado State Rams.
Colorado State (12-5, 4-1 MW) looked like it could not miss, sinking 3-pointers that looked automatic in a 78-63 win over UNM at WisePies Arena aka The Pit.
The loss marked the second straight for New Mexico (8-8, 4-2 MW), dropping the team back to .500 on the season.
The first half favored the Lobos, even though Ram sophomore guard Sofie Tryggedsson kept her team around with formidable shooting from beyond the arc.
She led all scorers at the break with 14, drilling four big 3-pointers to keep the deficit at single digits.
