UTEP women rally late to top Incarnate Word

The UTEP women's basketball team has a lot of issues to work through in the next month.

What the Miners have so far, on full display in a 67-63 victory over the University of the Incarnate Word Saturday in an empty Don Haskins Center, is a fully formed sense of the moment.

For the second consecutive game, UTEP came from behind in the stretch run, then defended the Cardinals' final four possessions to come away with the victory.

Leading 65-63 in the final seconds, UTEP's Katia Gallegos blanked UIW's Jaaucklyn Moore, who missed a heavily contested 15-footer.
