ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.— The Lobo women’s basketball program has added three in Coach Amy Eagan’s first signing class with two forwards and a guard.
Signing to join the Lobos in the fall of 2027 are forwards Jada Brown and Peyton Ward and guard Pfeiffer Greene.
“We couldn't be more excited about our first signing class here at The University of New Mexico,” commented Eagan. “Peyton Ward, Jada Brown, and Pfeiffer Greene represent exactly the type of young women we want to build this program around. They are talented basketball players, but more importantly, they are high-character individuals who are competitive, driven, and committed to being part of something bigger than themselves.
“When we took over this program, we talked about building a culture centered around toughness, togetherness, and an everyday commitment to getting better. These three young women embody those values. They want to be challenged, they want to compete, and most importantly, they want to win. We wanted players who believe in our vision, embrace the expectations that come with wearing NEW MEXICO across their chest, and are hungry to help us build something special.
“We are incredibly excited to welcome Peyton, Jada, Pfeiffer, and their families to our Lobo family. This is just the beginning of what we are building here in Albuquerque, and we could not be more excited about the future.”
