HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Wins don't have to be pretty, especially in March. NM State led for nearly the entire game in its quarterfinal matchup with FIU, swelling its lead to as many as 11. However, FIU continued to get to the free-throw line and tied up the game late in the closing moments. 42 points from Molly Kaiser and Fanta Gassama were enough to eke out a win by a score of 63-58. Awaiting the Aggies is the conference's second seed; the red-hot Liberty Flames. The winner of this semifinal matchup will become the first CUSA member to make the Women's Basketball Tournament Championship Game in its inaugural season since Western Kentucky in 2015.
