The Lobo women have experienced an unfamiliar feeling twice in the past week -- losing.
UNM comes home winless, losing at Colorado State and Wyoming.
Thursday in Fort Collins, Colo., the Lobos were out-rebounded and outshot. UNM lost to the Rams, 66-53, shooting 33 percent on the night.
Poor shooting that ultimately cost the Lobos the game Thursday night carried over to Laramie, Wyo., on Saturday against the Cowgirls.

The Lobos made six of their first eight shots and led by as many as eight in the first half. The Cowgirls wouldn't give up and came back to lead UNM at halftime, 29-28.
UW scored the first nine points after the break, as it took UNM nearly six minutes to score in the second half, missing its first nine shots. The Lobos made only six shots out of 33 attempts in the second half.
Sophomore Lindsey Arndt, kept UNM in the game scoring 10 of her 14 points in the second period. Arndt was UNM's leading rebounder against the Cowgirls, with nine boards.
UW forward Carrie Bacon doubled her scoring average with 26 points. She also led all rebounders with 10. Ram center Ann McColl had 16 for CSU.
