Last season, Aniyah Augmon was known as the UNM women’s basketball team’s Energizer Bunny.
Now her batteries are being put to a stiffer test.
Augmon, a 5-foot-8 sophomore guard, earned a role as designated pest last season, coming off the bench primarily to play aggressive defense and give the Lobos a quick spark. She averaged just 1.4 points, playing 9.5 minutes per game.
One season later, Augmon’s job description has changed. Going into Thursday’s Mountain West home game against Colorado State, Augmon has doubled her playing time and is being counted on to run the Lobos’ offense in high-leverage situations.
