Boise State women’s basketball suffers first Mountain West loss to UNLV

The Boise State women’s basketball team fell behind early and couldn’t quite claw its way back to a victory, losing to UNLV 58-55 on Wednesday night at Taco Bell Arena.

“We need to play better down the stretch in games, and we need to play better at the beginning of games,” Boise State head coach Gordy Presnell said. “Hopefully we can learn from it and keep going. I’m hoping that we’ll execute a little bit better and play with a little more passion.”

Marta Hermida scored 11 of her 13 points in the second half to help the Broncos (12-2, 2-1), but UNLV made seven free throws down the stretch to preserve its lead.
