The Lobo women’s basketball team trailed big at the half and, although it picked up the pace in the second half, wasn’t able to complete the comeback bid and fell to UNLV Wednesday evening.
New Mexico (12-10, 7-4 MW) entered the locker room down 16 points. The team played better in the second half, but the deficit proved too much to overcome as UNLV (15-7, 6-4 MW) took a 61-52 victory in WisePies Arena aka The Pit.
The Lobos saw three players score in double digits against the Rebels. Junior guard Cherise Beynon led the way with 20 points on 8-of-17 shooting from the field, while also bringing down nine rebounds for a near double-double.
