A strong defensive effort, which saw the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team force 25 turnovers, helped them cruise to an 84-68 victory over Fort Lewis on Sunday afternoon at Dreamstyle Arena.
Leading the charge defensively was freshman guard N’Dea Flye who, when on the court, seemed to be wherever the ball was. She was able to force three steals — which was tied for a game-high along with senior guard Alex Lapeyrolerie.
New Mexico capitalized on those turnovers, too, scoring 31 of their 84 points off of them.
“Defensively I feel like I did really good,” Flye said.
