Lady Toppers comeback falls short against New Mexico State
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) – The WKU Lady Toppers (15-12, 6-6 CUSA) fell on the road 64-61 to New Mexico State, securing the season sweep for the Aggies. The Lady Toppers made a rally in the 4th quarter but ultimately fell, dropping its fourth game in the last six outings.
Alexis Mead led WKU in scoring with 17 points, four assists, four rebounds and two steals. Mead surpassed 900 career points in the game and now has 906 points in her three seasons on The Hill.
The Aggies (11-13, 5-6 CUSA) opened the game on a 5-0 run that stopped with a layup from Faustino. After a three from New Mexico State, Josie Gilvin connected from long range and Mead made a bucket to cut the lead down to one. The Aggies responded with a 7-0 run. Faustino made good on 1-of-2 from the free throw line just before the break to bring the score to 15-8 going into the second quarter.
The two teams went back and forth to start the second quarter, but a 9-2 run by the Lady Toppers gave WKU its first lead of the game with 2:19 left in the quarter. The run was capped with a steal from Karris Allen and then a three on the next play. New Mexico State ended the quarter on a 7-2 scoring run to take a 30-26 lead into halftime.
The Lady Toppers cut the lead down to one to start the third quarter. The two teams traded baskets for most of the quarter, but New Mexico State scored the final five points of the frame to take a 48-39 lead into the fourth quarter.
New Mexico State kept a double-digit lead for most of the fourth quarter, but a 5-0 run by WKU cut the lead down to six with 3:08 left. The Aggies responded with three straight free throws to extend it back out to nine. The Lady Toppers scored four straight with under a minute left to cut it to 62-57. With 23 seconds left, WKU forced a steal to regain possession. Destiny Salary was fouled and made both free throws to cut it to three with 16.8 seconds. WKU fouled on the next possession and New Mexico State missed both free throws with 11 seconds left. Mead took a contested shot with four seconds left that rattled in, but her foot was on the 3-point line bringing the score to 62-61. The Aggies made two free throws to end the game.
WKU will return to E.A. Diddle Arena on Saturday, Feb. 24 against Middle Tennessee for an 11 a.m. showdown on ESPNU.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife rereleased a wolf into Grand County this week after it had traveled into New Mexico, according to a news release.
The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish captured gray wolf 2403 and returned the animal to Colorado.
Colorado wildlife officials decided to release the wolf in Grand County yesterday because of the proximity to “an unpaired female gray wolf,” nearby prey populations and distance from livestock, according to the release.
“Gray wolf 2403 has been returned to Colorado and released in a location where it can best contribute to CPW’s efforts to establish a self-sustaining wolf population while concurrently attempting to minimize potential wolf-related livestock conflicts,” said acting director of CPW Laura Clellan, according to the release.
The wolf was once a member of the Copper Creek pack but departed from it this fall.
A memorandum of understanding between Colorado and Arizona, New Mexico and Utah requires that any gray wolves that leave Colorado and enter those states be returned. That was created in part to maintain the integrity of a Mexican wolf recovery program.
“We recognized during the planning process that we would need to have consideration and plans to protect the genetic integrity of the Mexican wolf recovery program, while also establishing a gray wolf population in Colorado,” said CPW’s Wolf Conservation Program Manager Eric Odell, according to the release.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A judge sentenced a New Mexico man to nearly 20 years in prison for distributing meth and having guns in his possession to use while doing so.
Court records indicate 43-year-old David Amaya sold meth from a trailer on his parents’ property in Anthony throughout July and August 2024. Agents executed a search warrant Aug. 22 and found 1.18 kilograms of meth, two firearms and ammunition in the trailer and a makeshift bathroom.
Amaya pleaded guilty to possession of meth with intent to distribute it. A judge sentenced him to 235 months in prison.
Once he is out, Amaya will face five years of supervised release.
The FBI’s Albuquerque Field Office and the Las Cruces Metro Narcotics Task Force investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kirk Williams prosecuted it.
