The UNM women's basketball team will attempt to start 2017 off the same way it ended last year—seeking another conference win at home Wednesday night.
New Mexico (6-6, 2-0 MW) posted back-to-back wins for the first time since opening the season 2-0 and can improve to 3-0 to open conference play with a win over Utah State (8-5, 1-1 MW).
The Lobos lead the all-time series over Utah State 13-6, in a rivalry that dates back to the 1974-75 season. Last season, the two teams split the conference series with each team winning on its own home floor.
