It took overtime to do it.
But in a closely contested battle, the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team beat the undefeated Navy team at Dreamstyle Arena, 94-87, in front of an announced crowd of 6,673.
The win for UNM (11-0) tied the longest win streak in team history, with the women’s team doing it at one point during the 1977-78 season and again in the 2003-04 season.
But the win didn’t come easy.
“Navy never quit,” UNM coach Mike Bradbury said. “They are extremely frustrating to play. They are so disciplined. They are well coached.
