The UNM women’s basketball team overcame 20 turnovers to complete the season sweep over the Nevada Wolfpack Saturday night at WisePies Arena aka The Pit.
New Mexico (11-9, 7-3 MW) emerged with a 59-50 victory in a game that saw sloppy play by both teams. The Lobos also had a career milestone set in the conference win.
UNM junior guard Cherise Beynon joined an elite group of Lobo women, surpassing both 1,000 points and 500 rebounds as a Lobo—something only 13 other players had accomplished in program history.
Beynon scored 19 points on 8-of-17 shooting in the game and also brought down six rebounds while dishing out six assists.
