LAS CRUCES, N.M. – The New Mexico State women's basketball team was defeated by rival New Mexico in the battle of I-25 at the Pan American Center on Sunday.
An Aaliyah Prince layup and a three from Soufia Inoussa jump-started a 15-2 NM State (1-3, 0-0 WAC) to start the game that was capped by a three from Amanda Soderqvist. Then, the Lobos got on track, taking a 17-16 lead with 1:44 left in the quarter. Adenike Aderinto then hit a free throw and Adrianna Henderson got to the rim for a 19-17 Aggie lead after one.
