The Lobo women's basketball team edged out in-state rival New Mexico State in a close, but high-scoring affair on Saturday.
New Mexico protected its undefeated record, moving to 9-0 and matching the program's best start to a season after hanging on for a 101-93 victory.
The Lobos have not been shy shooting the 3-pointer this season, and Saturday was no different. The team shot lights out from beyond the arc, connecting on 15-for-22 from downtown.
Perhaps none were bigger than the deep one launched by senior guard Cherise Beynon with 1:21 to play, sinking a 30-footer with the shot clock dwindling down to extend the Lobo lead to 97-91.
