RENO, Nev. – Playing their first road game in Mountain West play this season, the University of New Mexico women's basketball team faced a big test on Saturday and had to withstand a furious second half surge by the University of Nevada in order to come away with 66-64 road victory.
In the game, the Lobos (12-1, 2-0 MW) jumped out to a 6-0 lead and held the Wolfpack (4-9, 0-2 MW) scoreless until the 5:50 mark of the opening quarter. After that initial score, Nevada was able to work back into the game as they took advantage of eight turnovers committed by UNM in the period.
