San Diego State settled down and went on a 19-4 run over the next six minutes as the Lobos couldnt get any of their shots to fall. The Aztecs built as much as a nine-point first half lead, but junior Tiffany Scaglione kept UNM close by grabbing three offensive rebounds and scoring five straight points in the first half. The Lobos went into the lockerroom trailing SDSU, 24-28.

In the second half UNM jumped on the Aztecs early. Junior Chelsea Grear tied the game at 30 when she hit a fall-away jump-shot in the paint with 15:35 left in the game.
