On Saturday night, the UTEP women’s basketball team (4-0) defeated NAU (1-3) at the Don Haskins Center to remain unbeaten after a final score of 72-62.
Sophomore guard Katia Gallegos led the team with a season-high of 19 points, and sophomore guard Avery Crouse followed with 13 points. Both graduate forward Teal Battle and junior guard Destiny Thurman also managed to hit double figures against Northern Arizona.
UTEP is off to a 4-0 start for the first time since head coach Kevin Baker’s initial season in 2017-2018. All four of their wins have been by double digits, which is something that hasn’t happened to kick off the year since the Miners’ last Conference USA Championship team did so during the 2015-2016 season.
