The pace of Wednesday night's game was supposed to be played at a high tempo. And for at least one team — it was.
The University of New Mexico women's basketball team won its eighth consecutive game and improved to 9-1 after taking down the Sacramento State Hornets by a score of 85-53 thanks to an concerted effort from several Lobos.
New Mexico freshman guard Jayla Everett led the way for her team, posting a game-high 19 points to pace a trio of Lobos who finished the night with double-digit scoring performances.
Sacramento State (3-4), which was known for its fast-paced, get-the-ball-down-the-floor-and-shoot-3's style of offense, probably entered Wednesday's game with the belief it could match the Lobos fire power.
