Colorado Springs, Colo. — The University of New Mexico women’s basketball team(13-1, 1-0 MW) overcame a slow start to blow out the Air Force Falcons (0-12, 0-1 MW) 88-59 thanks to an 18 point and nine rebound performance from Jaisa Nunn in the conference opener.
In the first quarter, the play was much more even than the teams' records suggested. Nunn scored the first two of the Lobos’ baskets, and it looked like she would be able to take advantage of her size advantage over the Air Force defenders. However, the Falcons were able to adapt and force the Lobos to look to another option, as they were able to control the tempo.
