  • Viane Cumber scored 22 points, including the decisive 3-point shot with 3.7 seconds remaining, leading New Mexico to a 69-66 victory over No. 25 UNLV, ending UNLV's 29-game Mountain West winning streak.
  • Desi-Rae Young led UNLV with a season-high 17 rebounds and 24 points, but missed opportunities, including errant three-point attempts and free throws, cost UNLV the match.
  • Aniyah Augmon and Nyah Wilson also contributed to New Mexico's victory with 15 points and 10 points respectively.
  • The victory sets the stage for New Mexico's upcoming match against Fresno State, while UNLV is set to bounce back in their face-off with Boise State.
  • The match was a roller-coaster ride with a series of lead changes, especially in the nerve-wracking final quarter.
