SILVER CITY, N.M. – The Western New Mexico University basketball teams will look to get on the winning track this weekend as they host a pair of tough opponents in Adams State and Fort Lewis this Friday and Saturday inside Drag's Court.


On the women's side, ASC (4-7, 3-4 RMAC) is coming off of a tight four-point victory against Chadron State on Dec. 31 and before that defeated Nebraska-Kearney by 10, 68-58.

It will only get harder for the Mustangs the next night as No. 6 Fort Lewis will pay a visit.


The Skyhawks have won seven straight entering their game against New Mexico Highlands Friday night. After a few close calls to begin the conference slate, FLC (10-1, 7-0 RMAC) has dominated with wins of 24 over Western State, 34 over Chadron State and this past Saturday of 25 against Nebraska-Kearney.
