The University of New Mexico women’s basketball team will continue its quest to advance in the WNIT on Tuesday evening when it hosts the Rice Owls at the Pit in the second round of the tournament.
Previously, the Lobos evaded a late comeback attempt from senior guard Stella Beck and Saint Mary’s at Johnson Center by coming up clutch in the final moments of the game. Some of those moments included — but not limited to — UNM freshman guard N’Dea Flye hitting two key 3-pointers down the stretch.
In the end, New Mexico grabbed an 82-80 victory, behind a game-high 33 points from senior guard Cherise Beynon.
