The heart and toughness of the UTEP women’s basketball team was tested to its fullest as they suffered a back-breaking 84-64 loss to visiting UAB at the Don Haskins Center on Friday night.
The Blazers knocked down a school-record for 3-pointers (17), with the previous mark at 14.
The Miners (13-8, 4-4 C-USA) trailed UAB (18-3, 7-1 C-USA) by just two points (54-52) heading into the fourth quarter but the Blazers’ Deanna Kuzmanic and Rachael Childress combined for a perfect 9-for-9 from the floor and 7-for-7 from behind the arc to claim the win.
