UTEP outlasts Eastern New Mexico in exhibition game

UTEP women’s basketball opened up their exhibition part of their schedule with a 64-45 win over Eastern New Mexico on Saturday, Oct. 27, at the Don Haskins Center.

“I thought it was a really good scrimmage for us,” said head coach Kevin Baker postgame. “It was exactly what we needed. We’ve been playing each other for so long it felt so good to play somebody other than ourselves.”

The Miners had two players in double figures—junior forward Ariona Gill had 14 points and senior forward Jordan Alexander had 17 points to lead all Miners.

UTEP was able to jump out to a 15 point lead after the first quarter, Alexander came out strong early scoring six points.
