Post-Game Clarity: A Subpar Start for Sopak
The Nevada women’s basketball team traveled to Los Angeles, California, where they were crushed by the Loyola Marymount University (LMU) Lions, 89-64, in their season opener.
The Pack entered a raucous environment as the Lions celebrated their 2025-2026 West Coast Conference (WCC) championship with a ring ceremony. Nevada, still coming out on the short end, allowed LMU to score a program record-breaking high of 89 points.
The first quarter was promising for the Pack, as they kept pace with the Lions’ fiery offense and trailed 20-19. Nevada found success beyond the arc, shooting 62.5%, 5/8, from three.
