Sparkle Taylor scored 19 points, while Lulu McKinney added 12 points to help UTEP bounce back from their first loss of the season with a 60-52 win against UNLV that was not as close as the final score indicated.
Things started off slow for the Miners, but a key run to end the first quarter got things going and put this one to bed early.
Trailing 9-4 early in the first in the midst of an almost four minute drought, Cameasha Tuner and Lulu McKinney would knock down back-to-back three pointers to start a 12-0 that gave UTEP a 16-9 lead after the first quarter.
