ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The University of New Mexico women's basketball team started off on a strong note, claiming its first exhibition victory 78-41 over Western New Mexico on Wednesday evening in front of 4,820 Lobo basketball fans at WisePies Arena aka The Pit.
"I liked our defense and our effort," said head coach Yvonne Sanchez. "It was a good exhibition game and normally I'm not happy after exhibition games because it gets sloppy, but I don't think we ever got sloppy. I really liked what I saw in some rotations and combinations.
