Lobo women add ex-UNLV guard Johnson as transfer

The University of New Mexico women’s basketball team won’t lack experience or firepower in 2022-23.

Coach Mike Bradbury and his staff added a little of both this week, signing transfer Nia Johnson to the roster. Johnson’s name may sound familiar to Lobos fans, as she played for Mountain West rival UNLV two seasons ago.

Nia Johnson, former UNLV guard, is coming to New Mexico.

Johnson, a 5-foot-8 guard, averaged 12.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.2 steals and was named to the All-Mountain West team following her only season with the Lady Rebels.
