To say this season has been up and down for the Aztecs would be an understatement.
After a three-game win streak to end December, the Aztecs dropped nine straight in January then won four straight in February before beating University of Wyoming 54-40 Wednesday for its fifth straight win.
Third-year head coach Stacie Terry said a big part of the win streak has been senior forward Deidra Smith’s impact in the middle.
“(Smith’s presence) has allowed us to score more points, it has allowed us to play better defense, it has opened up shots for our three-point shooters and now everyone is just falling into their role,” Terry said.
