A-State (3-4) trailed for much of the afternoon but rallied from a 10 points deficit to pick up the program’s first win in El Paso since the 1989-90 season. Westbrook’s winning sequence was set up by a drive from freshman guard Jireh Washington who drew the defense to her and then dished the ball to Westbrook who made the layup and converted the layup to go up by one.
UTEP (2-5) called a timeout to advance the ball past half court, but could not find an opening in the Red Wolves’ man-to-man defense and turned the ball back over to A-State with Neidy Ocuane was called for an offensive foul with 0.
