The NMHU Cowgirls bounced back in a big way on 12/19 with a commanding 112-44 win over the Eagles Northern New Mexico. The Cowgirls played loose and fast as they ran through the Eagles defense at will. Several Cowgirls scored in double figures for the game as many Cowgirls came off the bench to add to the win. The Cowgirls are now 6-3 on the season. The Cowgirls will be on the shelf for the holiday break as their next game will not be until 12/30 when they travel down to Las Cruces, N.M. to take on NCAA DI opponent New Mexico State University.
The Cowgirls jumped on the Eagles early as they started out on a 7-0 run and never looked back as the Cowgirls held their commanding lead throughout the entire game. The Cowgirls biggest lead of the night was 72 points as they demolished the overmatched Eagles.
“This was a great was for our girls to answer back after a loss. They played excellent today and to be 6-3 heading into the break is great for us. This is our best start in three years. We will be getting back Sheena Cole from injury after the break and she should provide us with another offensive weapon on the court. We will have a huge test when we travel to NMSU later this month, but we will be ready. We have a few things to work on and refine, but I do think our best basketball is ahead of us” said elated
