Wyoming Cowgirls Narrowly Outscored at The Pit by New Mexico Lobos

The Wyoming Cowgirls, with a season record of 0-0, faced off against the New Mexico Lobos in a closely contested game that ended with a final score of 68-61. The Cowgirls displayed commendable effort but ultimately fell short against the home team.

At The Pit in Albuquerque, the fans witnessed an intense matchup between the Wyoming Cowgirls and their opponents. The game started off strong for the Cowgirls as they outscored the Lobos 18-15 in the first quarter. They maintained their lead into halftime with an additional 20 points to their name while holding the Lobos to just 16.

The offensive efforts were led by impressive field goal shooting; Wyoming made 26 out of their total 60 attempts, resulting in a solid field goal percentage of forty-three percent. Their prowess from within the arc was particularly notable as they hit nineteen out of thirty two-point shots, translating to sixty-three percent accuracy.

However, beyond the three-point line, success was harder to come by for Wyoming as they managed only seven baskets from thirty attempts – a twenty-three percent completion rate which contrasted starkly with their two-point efficiency. Free throws were also scarce for them; only three attempts were made throughout the game and two successfully converted (sixty-seven percent).

Defensively, while not registering any blocks during playtime, Wyoming did manage to secure three steals and exerted pressure on New Mexico's offense leading to fourteen points off turnovers. On rebounds, they showed tenacity grabbing thirty-four overall – nine offensive and twenty-one defensive.

Despite these efforts and leading at various points during playtime due to five lead changes throughout the match-up – including going into halftime ahead – it was not enough against a determined New Mexico team who edged ahead in both third (17-13) and fourth quarters (20-10). This late surge saw them take control of proceedings towards victory.
