UTEP's nine-game winning streak ended in improbable fashion. After coming all the way back from 17 points down, the Miners fell off the home tightrope they had walked so well.
Tied with all the momentum in the final five minuets, the Miners could not summon their typical late-game magic and lost to Florida Atlantic 67-62 Sunday at the Don Haskins Center.
Katia Gallegos' potential game-tying 3-pointer with 14 seconds left went in-and-out and FAU's Iggy Allen capped her 28-point, 17-rebound night with icing free throws as UTEP fell to 11-4 in Conference USA. FAU improved to 5-6.
