Injuries have plagued the Lobos in the month of January – especially ACL tears.
First, sophomore guard Emily Lines had a season-ending ACL tear, and sophomore Jaisa Nunn suffered the same fate on Wednesday.
New Mexico (11-9, 7-3 MW) will be without their 6’3” post player in Nunn – who was averaging 10.4 points and 7.0 rebounds per game prior to the injury. The team will face UNLV on Wednesday night for the second time this season.
UNLV (14-7, 5-4 MW), beat the Lobos soundly earlier in Las Vegas, Nevada by a score of 57-42.
In that game, UNLV held the Lobos to just 21.
