ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – It was certainly not the way they would have wanted to draw it up, but the University of New Mexico women's basketball team once more displayed tremendous resolve and resilience as they engineered another thrilling comeback victory on Friday night, this time against Northern Arizona and in front of 4,856 boisterous fans inside Dreamstyle Arena – The Pit.
In the season-opener on Tuesday, the Lobos (2-0) trailed by double digits to UC Riverside with just over six minutes left in the opening quarter. UC Riverside would end up taking a 17-9 lead into the second quarter.
