The Lobo women's basketball team looked like a well-oiled machine throughout most of its match against the University of Texas El Paso Miners, taking a 79-66 home victory on Sunday afternoon.
The Lobos (4-5) seemed to feed off the positive energy the crowd of 4,596 exuded, especially early on.
The first quarter couldn't have gone much better for the Lobos. Senior center Richelle van der Keijl made UTEP (2-6) pay, as she dropped six points down low and continued to do so throughout the half.
Lobo guard Cherise Beynon also had a hot hand in the first quarter of play, scoring five points to help UNM go on top 20-12 at the end of the frame.
