Albuquerque – New Mexico coach Don Flanagan knew his team could perform better on offense in the second half against Wyoming.
Sure enough, that’s what happened.
Dionne Marsh scored 13 points and Abbie Letz and Brandi Kimble each added 10, leading No. 18 New Mexico to a 62-39 win over Wyoming on Saturday.
Letz scored eight as the Lobos (13-4, 3-1 Mountain West) began the second half with a 14-0 burst to extend a 23-21 halftime lead.
New Mexico led for good after Jana Francis scored with 17 seconds before the break.
Wyoming (12-3, 2-2) went the final 3:18 of the first half without a field goal and the first 8:29 of the second without scoring from the floor, until Megan McGuffey finally made a baseline jumper.
McGuffey led Wyoming with 15 points. Michelle Taylor had 10 but was scoreless in the second half.
