Time to move the Lobos-Aggies women’s basketball rivalry back to the front burner.
Nearly two years removed from their most recent clash, the University of New Mexico and New Mexico State square off twice in a three-day span. UNM (6-3) hosts the Aggies (3-2) at the Pit on Friday and visits Las Cruces on Sunday.
Pandemic restrictions forced last season’s rivalry games to be canceled – the first time UNM and NMSU did not meet in women’s hoops since 1990-91 – and Friday’s meeting will be the first for most of the players on both teams.
Seniors Antonia Anderson, Shaiquel McGruder and Jaedyn De La Cerda are the only current Lobos who’ve faced New Mexico State.
