UTEP women fall at the buzzer to Utah State for first loss

The late game magic from the UTEP women's basketball team did not travel to Logan, Utah.

The Miners clawed out of a 14-point second-half deficit and into a late lead Sunday against Utah State, but fell in the final possessions 68-65. UTEP had a potential go-ahead 3-pointer with 9 seconds remaining and a potential tying 3-pointer at the buzzer but could not convert either.

UTEP fell to 3-1 in a season where every game has been decided on the final possession of regulation or overtime.

How it went

UTEP used an 11-0 run in the third quarter to erase much of a 14-point lead and a 6-0 run in the fourth quarter to erase the rest of it, then went ahead 64-63 lead with 44 seconds left on Tatyana Modawar's first 3-pointer of the season.
