    Stevens: Utah ends Lobos' MWC Tourney Run 51-45 In Overtime

    The Lobos' defense and the shooting of Eileen Weissmann and Sarah Halasz wasn't enough to carry UNM to a Mountain West tourney win over Utah. The Utes got a huge 3-pointer from senior Kalee Whipple in overtime and Utah scratched out a 51-45 quarterfinal win. The Lobos are expected to continue playing with a postseason invite from the NIT.

    Stevens: Lobos Roll Rams 67-54, Advance To Play Utah Utes

  • MWC TOURNAMENT CENTRAL
    It's New Mexico vs. Utah, Amy Beggin vs. Kalee Whipple, Don Flanagan vs. Elaine Elliott, tradition vs. tradition and a do-or-die situation. The only way this thing could be any better is if it was a Mountain West Conference championship game instead of a MWC quarterfinal tussle. The Lobos won their first-round MWC tourney game 67-54 over Colorado State and Utah pounded Air Force 63-40. The two teams battle Wednesday in the MWC tourney being held in the Las Vegas Thomas & Mack Center.


    BEGGIN IS ALL-MWC: Lobo senior Amy Beggin was named to the All-MWC First Team and the All-MWC Defensive Team. Juniors Amanda Best and Jessica Kielpinski were All-MWC Honorable Mention. Click Here For Release!!
