UTEP women's basketball coach Kevin Baker likes his depth, his defense and his team's ability to score.

On Monday night at the Don Haskins Center, the Miners showed a lot of what Baker likes in an 83-55 win against New Orleans in the season opener for both teams.

UTEP forced 32 turnovers, scored 42 points off those turnovers, had 10 players score, made eight 3-pointers and was 23 of 30 from the free throw line.

Petree leads the way

Junior small forward Mahri Petree led all scorers with a career-best 24 points on 6 of 11 shooting from the field and 11 of 11 from the free throw line.
