During its three-game home losing streak, the UNM women's basketball team's biggest woes came on offense.
So naturally, the Lobos ended that skid by threatening the century mark in Saturday's 94-64 win over UNLV at The Pit.
UNM head coach Don Flanagan said he spent a good deal of practice tweaking the offense last week.
"Last game, we couldn't get to 40. And this game, we're trying to get to 100," he said. "So, I don't know what the story is. I think I need to work more on offense, because it seemed to work today."
Brandi Kimble, Amy Beggin and Dionne Marsh combined for 70 of UNM's 94 points in the victory.
Beggin led all scorers with a career-high 26 points while dishing out six assists and four rebounds.

Kimble tied a career high with 22 points. She scored the first nine points for the Lobos and also finished with eight rebounds and six assists.
Marsh finished with 22 points on 8-of-10 shooting from the field while adding five rebounds and four assists.
Beggin's 26 points came just a week after she struggled to hit anything against BYU at home. In last week's 41-38 loss, Beggin scored just four points and was 0-for-12 from the field.
Beggin said she was able to put last week's game behind her pretty quickly.
"I think it's all part of the game," she said. "You have games where you're going to - well, hopefully not go 0-for-12 again - but you're going to have games where you're going to be off."
It took an effort from Beggin and the team to bounce back from recent struggles at The Pit.
Before Saturday's win over the Rebels, the Lobos started 0-3 in home conference games this season. In the three losses, they averaged just 48 points per game.
But UNM looked like a different team from the get-go Saturday. The Lobos jumped out to a 13-4 lead in the first five minutes and never looked back.
They had a 15-0 run early in the first half and held a 38-point lead with 2:40 left in the game, leading 93-55.
Marsh said the players knew that 100 points was achievable, but they didn't want to go out of their way to hit that mark.
"Of course a little bit of you is like, 'Oh, let's hurry up and get it.' But to be classy, you don't want to do that to a team," she said. "You want to make sure that the younger girls get some time to play to keep their morale up."
