UTEP Miners Set to Host Kansas City Roos at Don Haskins Center in Women's Basketball Showdown

As the UTEP Miners prepare to welcome the Kansas City Roos to the Don Haskins Center, fans can anticipate a competitive clash in women's basketball. The Miners are coming off a strong performance against Western New Mexico Mustangs, where they secured a decisive 75-58 victory. This win showcased UTEP's ability to maintain control throughout the game, as evidenced by their consistent scoring across all quarters and particularly strong showings in the second half.

The Miners demonstrated a balanced attack with an impressive field goal percentage of 48 percent and were particularly effective from inside the paint, contributing 28 points. Their defense was also noteworthy; they managed nine steals and capitalized on turnovers, scoring 25 points off their opponents' mistakes.

UTEP's rebounding was solid with 36 total rebounds, including an offensive rebounding effort that allowed for nine second-chance points. The team also showed discipline by committing only 13 personal fouls compared to Western New Mexico’s 19.
