Two words pretty much summed up the UNM women’s basketball team’s evening in San Jose, California.
Mission accomplished.
Jaedyn De La Cerda scored 24 points and sparked the Lobos to a decisive-if-not-overly-pretty 80-58 victory over host San Jose State. The Lobos (23-8, 14-4 Mountain West) completed their regular season and will next take the court March 7 for the MWC tournament quarterfinals in Las Vegas, Nevada.
UNM will almost certainly be the No. 2 seed for the conference tournament but will not be involved as the league’s final regular-season games play out and tournament seedings are finalized.
