UTEP would race out to an early 10-2 lead, then a 15-7 lead after a three pointer from Cameasha Turner with 4:15 left in the first quarter to cement a solid start in Denton.
The Miners led by as much as ten (31-21) with five minutes left in the second quarter, but North Texas would finish the second quarter on a 14-8 spurt to cut the UTEP lead to 39-35 at halftime.
