The UTEP women's basketball team's string of slow starts continued Saturday at Weber State, and the result was a 68-63 loss that was their fourth straight.
This also marked the fifth consecutive game the Miners were down double-figures in the first quarter, as the Wildcats scored the first 15 points and turned back a Miner run in the second and third quarters to send UTEP to 2-4.

The Miners clawed all the way back and were within 43-41 with 4:07 left in the third quarter after a Katarina Zec 3-pointer closed a 17-7 second-half-opening run, but the energy it took to get back in the game showed.
