Tuesday, Nov. 9, has been circled on Jaedyn De La Cerda’s calendar for months.
De La Cerda began anticipating the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team’s home opener versus Lamar last March, when she and teammate Antonia Anderson decided to return for a super-senior season with the Lobos.
“I am excited,” De La Cerda said Monday. “I’ve been looking forward to playing in front of the fans, and my family will all be here. It’s been a long wait.”
The Lobos unofficially broke a lengthy span between fan-attended home games with a pair of exhibition wins last week.
