Playing on the road for the first time this season didn’t stop the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team in its tracks.
Instead, the Lobos defeated the UTEP Miners (4-1) in decisive fashion at the Don Haskins Center, 59-35, to improve their record to a still-perfect 8-0 so far this season.
The win, though, wasn’t without the help of 25 UTEP turnovers, which was due in part to the Lobos’ stout defense.
Head coach Mike Bradbury seemed pleased with his team’s defensive showing on Thursday, saying it was a great performance.
“That was unbelievable defense,” Bradbury said in a press release.
