The UTEP women's basketball team defeated Houston Baptist 69-62 Saturday Bret Bloomquist/El Paso Times
The theme for the UTEP women's basketball team heading into Saturday's game against Houston Baptist was dealing with adversity, and the Miners decided to double down on that.
UTEP followed up their first loss of the season Thursday against New Mexico with their worst half of the year against the Huskies, digging an eight-point hole that tested their mettle.
Down the stretch, they passed that test. UTEP followed up a strong third quarter with a nine-point burst during winning time, easing away for a 69-62 victory that left them at 5-1.
