As far as the outcome was concerned, Friday night’s women’s basketball game at the Pit went pretty much as expected.
Still, there were a couple of pleasant surprises.
Freshman Viané Cumber made her first collegiate start and senior LaTascya Duff made her first appearance of the season as the University of New Mexico rolled to a 96-40 victory over Northern New Mexico College.
Cumber scored a game-high 17 points, one of three Lobos to reach double figures as UNM coach Mike Bradbury divided much of the playing time amongst his reserves. Shaiquel McGruder was the lone starter to reach double digits with 12 points.
