ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- In a battle of women's basketball unbeatens between 10-0 New Mexico and 9-0 Navy on Sunday afternoon at Dreamstyle Arena – it was fitting five overtime minutes were needed.
In the end, it was the Lobos who came out on top as they outscored the Midshipmen 12-5 in the extra period as UNM tied the longest winning streak in program history at 11 with a thrilling 94-87 victory over Navy in front of a season-high 6,763 fans – the most to attend a Lobo women's game since January of 2014.
"This is exactly the kind of game we expected," UNM coach Mike Bradbury said.
