Womens Comeback Falls Short against Cameron

Silver City, N.M. – Stepping back into conference play, the western women outscored their opponents 44-29 in the second half of play, but fell short of the comeback falling 68-61 to Cameron Saturday afternoon. The Mustangs won the battle of the boards 42-37, but the Aggies could not be stopped beyond the arc.

NOTABLE PERFORMANCES:
Alicia Mardis (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) – 21-points | 15 rebounds | 1 block | 2 assists
Alexis Jones (Dallas, TX/) – 10-points | 6 rebounds | 4 steals | 1 block
HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • CU opened play with a three, WNMU would answer with six consecutive points to go up by three.
  • CU turned the table when they went on a 10-0 scoring run.
  • Alexis Jones (Dallas, TX/) knocked down a jumper to keep her team within single digits going into the second quarter.
  • Quarter two was all CU, as the Aggies used a powerful presence in the paint as well as connected beyond the arc to take 20-plus lead at the half.
  • Coming out of the locker room, Alicia Mardis (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) took matters into her own hands grabbing three offensive rebounds in the opening 20-seconds of the third quarter to keep possession.
  • The Aggies maintained a double-digit lead throughout, but WNMU managed to close it to 15 going into the final quarter.
  • WNMU outscored CU 22-15 in the third.
  • Paulina Rodriguez (Chihuahua, Mexico/Montverde Academy) put it in, to push the Mustangs back within single-digits.
  • Despite keeping the Aggies to just 14-points in the final quarter, the gap was too large to comeback from.
UP NEXT:
The Western Women will return to Drag's Court next Saturday for another conference matchup with MSU Texas. Game time is scheduled for 2 p.m. MST.
