Jan. 15, 2005
Albuquerque, N.M. – After a sluggish start, the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team went on to defeat the Air Force Falcons 72-58 in its first Mountain West Conference game of the season. It was the Lobos’ (12-2, 1-0 MWC) 16th straight win over the Falcons (5-9, 0-1 MWC).
Air Force was leading the Lobos 45-42 in the first five minutes of the second half, but back-to-back threes from Judy Vogt and Jana Francis quickly stifled AFA and propelled New Mexico to lead for the remainder of the game.
Francis along with Mandi Moore and Lindsey Arndt led the Lobos with 12 points each while Abbie Letz led with 11 rebounds.
Alecia Steele led Air Force with 15 points.
