University of New Mexico senior Andrea Howard, a former La Cueva High standout, belted her 40th career home run to become the program’s all-time leader during a 13-4 softball loss in six innings to Utah State on Sunday.
Howard hammered a two-run homer to the bleachers in right field for her 11th home run of the season.
Stefanie Carramusa (2010-12) held the previous UNM record for career home runs.
Ashley Archuleta accounted for the other two runs for the Lobos, going 2-for-3 with two RBIs.
Utah State (16-15, 3-0 in MW) swept the Lobos (20-12, 1-5) in the three-game series.
