ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – True freshman Ahlise Hurst had perhaps the most memorable game of her life on Wednesday night as the Australian product set a new benchmark for points in a game by a freshman as she scored 39. The University of New Mexico women's basketball team would need all those points as well as they pulled out a gritty 84-80 victory over Oklahoma in front of a boisterous crowd of 5,152 inside Dreamstyle Arena – The Pit.
In establishing a new single-game scoring record for a freshman at UNM, Hurst passed Yvonne McKinnon's 1982 record of 35 points against Adams State.
