And then, it was their last.
Four seniors, all guards, stepped onto the Pit floor for the last time, as players for the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team.
Seniors Cherise Beynon, Laneah Bryan, Tesha Buck and Alex Lapeyrolerie had a mix of emotions, they said, but a positive outcome in a season in which they broke records, beat the unbeatable and have become a sisterhood.
And that sisterhood will stand the test of time, Lapeyrolerie said.
“Thanks to my teammates for being my sisters. I don’t have a sister, so it’s great to have a group of young ladies to have fun with and support from,” she said during her her tribute video shown during the game.
