Lobo women’s fifth starter still unknown heading into Sunday exhibition

There won’t be too many surprises when the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team’s starters are introduced prior to Sunday’s season-opening exhibition game.

One name has yet to be revealed.

Asked if he’d picked starters for the Lobos’ 2 p.m. contest against Western Colorado, coach Mike Bradbury said, “I’ve decided on four.”

The response was hardly unexpected. It would have been surprising if seniors and returning starters Jaedyn De La Cerda, Antonia Anderson, Shaiquel McGruder and LaTora Duff are not penciled into Sunday’s starting lineup.

UNM’s fifth spot is a different story. With senior LaTascya Duff recovering from offseason surgery and out for the foreseeable future, someone new will have to join the starting lineup.
