Freshman center Jaisa Nunn fights for the ball against a Pepperdine player at WisePies Arena Dec. 12. The Lobos beat Minnesota 72-53 on Wednesday.
New Mexico senior Kahdijah Shumpert propelled her team to a 72-53 road victory over the Minnesota Gophers on Wednesday night in Shumpert’s return to her home state.
UNM got off to a slow start in the first quarter but quickly turned that around as Shumpert tied a career high with 27 points and the Lobos never trailed in the second half.
“Khadijah was phenomenal. I am so proud of her, especially on a stage with all of her family and friends,” head coach Yvonne Sanchez said in a release.
