It wasn’t pretty. And it certainly wasn’t easy.
But the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team, with a resurgent second half, pulled out a narrow 72-68 victory over the visiting Nevada Wolf Pack on Saturday afternoon at Dreamstyle Arena.
“Give Nevada a lot of credit,” UNM head coach Mike Bradbury said. “They are, one, very talented and two, extremely well-coached. … That said, I’m very proud of our kids. I thought the last quarter and a half we really competed and found a way to win.”
Nevada, (8-5, 1-1 Mountain West) by the half, had a four point advantage.
