UNM tops Wyoming to make it to tournament finals

LAS VEGAS - Hannah Zavecz and Megan McGuffey had their way with the UNM women's basketball team's defense today, scoring more than 20 points each. Unfortunately for the two Wyoming players, the Lobos shutdown everyone else, as the rest of the Cowgirls combined for just 10 points.

Briody carries Lobos to 65-53 win

LAS VEGAS - One of Julie Briody's most clutch performances came when the UNM women's basketball team needed it most.

Briody - a guard who is built more like a cross country runner than a post player - delivered, finishing with 21 points, eight rebounds and three steals in UNM's 65-53 win over Wyoming on Friday in Las Vegas.
