SILVER CITY, N.M. – Back home and looking for their third straight win, the Mustangs hosted the No. 4 ranked Texas A&M Commerce Lions on Drag's Court Saturday evening.

Kaela Chavez (Las Cruces, New Mexico/Centennial High School) – 16 PTS | 6-9 FG | 4-6 3PTR | 2 AST | 2 REB
Alicia Mardis (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) – 8 PTS |3-6 FG | 2-3 FT | 10 REB

HOW IT HAPPENED:

Keeping trend to games prior, Paulina Rodriguez (Chihuahua, Mexico/Montverde Academy) started things off with a three.
Trading blows, each team was persistent in defending the offensive efforts.
At the line, TAMUC shot for two to go up by six. Kaela Chavez (Las Cruces, New Mexico/Centennial High School) though would cut that lead in half with her first three of the night.
Quick to defend, and quick to release the Lions offense took advantage of a Mustangs turnover to go up by eight.
A minute thirty to play in the half, WNMU banked the final three baskets to trail by four.
It took three minutes for Commerce to go up by double-digits.
A technical would only fuel the Lions offense, going on a 7-0 run. Starting to uphold their season margin, TAMUC went up by as many as 23, scoring a 31 for the quarter.
Kaela Chavez (Las Cruces, New Mexico/Centennial High School) caught fire in the fourth in a last minute spark to close the gap. The sophomore went 2-3 behind the arc, to add eight points.
Chavez finished the night with a season high 16 points, missing just three attempts for the night.
