UTEP women’s basketball opens up the season with a blowout win

The UTEP women’s basketball team defeated Alcorn State,77-51, in their season opener Saturday, Nov. 10, at the Don Haskins Center.

“We’re proud of the fact that we shared the ball so well, “ said head coach Kevin Baker. “I think we shot close to close to 50 percent for the game and, and share the ball well. So I mean, there’s not a whole lot of things I can walk out disappointed about except for the turnover.”

It was a perfect night for the Miners minus the fact that UTEP had 27 turnovers for the night. Every Miner player that played committed turnovers, starting sophomore guard Jordan Jenkins and junior forward Jade Rochelle were the only Miners to commit only one turnover.
