Aggies and Lady Toppers Set for Showdown at Pan American Center

As the New Mexico State Aggies prepare to host the Western Kentucky Lady Toppers at the Pan American Center, fans are eager to see how their team will perform in this upcoming clash. The Aggies have had a mixed bag of results in their recent outings, showing both resilience and areas for improvement.

In their last game against the Trojans, despite a valiant effort on home turf, the Aggies fell short with 66 points against the Trojans' 81. The statistics revealed a struggle in field goal percentage at 39 percent and from beyond the arc at 25 percent. However, they excelled at free throw accuracy with an impressive 79 percent completion rate.

A previous away game saw them narrowly defeated by Austin Peay Governors with a score of 55-57 after pushing into overtime. Their tenacity was evident as they managed to rack up an impressive number of steals (15) and maintained a solid two-point field goal percentage (42 percent). Yet turnovers were an issue here too, with sixteen lost opportunities that could have swung the game more favorably.

The Aggies did shine brightly in another recent encounter when they hosted Utah Valley Wolverines and secured a comfortable victory scoring 70 points to Utah Valley's 39. This performance was marked by efficient shooting from both two-point range (56 percent) and three-point territory (46 percent), coupled with strong defensive play resulting in nine steals.

As we look ahead to facing Western Kentucky Lady Toppers, it's clear that maintaining high shooting percentages while minimizing turnovers will be key factors for success. Playing on home ground should give New Mexico State an edge as they seek to leverage fan support and familiarity with the venue.
