Senior forward Tamara Seda came up two rebounds short of a double-double with eight to go along with a career-high of 20 points to help lift the UTEP women’s basketball team to a season opening victory over CSU-Bakersfield, 67-56.
The win gave first-year head coach Kevin Baker his first career victory at the helm of the Miners in his first attempt.
“Good win for the Miners, I was proud to coach today,” Baker said postgame.
Three more Miners scored in double-figures in the win, sophomore forward Jordan Alexander (15), sophomore guard Faith Cook (14) and junior guard Najala Howell (10).
