Women's basketball: Alexander's clutch free throws give Wolf Pack its second win

Some timely free throws gave the Nevada women’s basketball team its second win of the season on Saturday.

With the Wolf Pack trailing by a single point with five seconds left against Idaho, senior Nia Alexander hit two free throws to lift Nevada to a 61-60 win at Lawlor Events Center.

The Pack improved to 2-3 and was scheduled to conclude its Nugget Classic event with a Sunday game against San Francisco. Idaho dropped to 1-4.

“I trusted my free throws when I stepped up to the line,” Alexander said in a news release. “I told myself ‘I got this’ and went up there with confidence.
