Women's basketball falls to SDSU in MWC title

Nathan Farmer | March 10

The women’s basketball MWC run is over. UNM’s fairy tale run in the MWC tournament came to an end Saturday in the final against San Diego State, 57-43. The Lobos were the seven seed but pulled off upset wins over University of Las-Vegas and Boise State to reach the championship game, but one seeded SDSU was just too good. “It was a tough loss,” senior forward Porche Torrance said.
