One player dominated in head coach Yvonne Sanchez’s press conference on Monday. That player was senior forward Alexa Chavez.
Chavez - who started the season plagued by a foot injury - re-injured the foot, and has been watching her team from the sidelines for the majority of conference play. Although Sanchez said Chavez, one of the major leaders on the team, will dress for UNM’s meeting with UNLV, the coach will be under a watchful eye in her return to play.
“The biggest thing looking back from November to February was that we’ve missed her toughness and we’ve missed her leadership…” Sanchez said.
