Lobo junior guard Cherise Beynon finally has flirted with a triple-double on several occasions this season, but she finally pulled off the feat in a convincing win over Air Force Wednesday night.
Beynon recorded 20 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists to help lift her team to an 81-64 victory over Air Force at WisePies Arena aka the Pit.
The Albuquerque Journal’s Ken Sickenger reported that it was the first triple-double for the UNM women’s basketball team since 1979.
New Mexico (14-10, 9-4 MW) strengthened its hold on third place in the conference standings as Air Force (3-18, 1-10 MW) continued to muddle through a tough season.
