This one had an exhibition vibe.
The University of New Mexico women’s basketball team gave its starters most of the night off and didn’t really miss them in a 95-54 romp over Fort Lewis College on Thursday night at the Pit.
The Lobos, who open the regular season Monday at Southern Utah, looked ready for games that count in the Thursday’s opening minutes. UNM hit 9 of its first 11 from 3-point range, racing to a 37-12 lead early in the second quarter and never looking back.
“We’re obviously a shooting team,” said sophomore Viane Cumber, who swished two of the early 3s and finished with 10 points.
