The University of New Mexico women’s basketball team did not bring its ‘A’ offensive game to San Diego on Saturday.
Nor did UNM’s ‘B’ game make the trip.
Fortunately for the Lobos, solid defense and a C-plus offensive effort was enough to produce a 67-58 victory over host San Diego State at Viejas Arena. Antonia Anderson’s double-double (15 points, 13 rebounds) and 18 points from Shaiquel McGruder helped UNM (18-5, 9-1 Mountain West) bounce back from its first conference loss of the season Thursday at UNLV.
The Lobos were not sharp, missing numerous shots from point-blank range and committing 18 turnovers, many of them unforced.
