Women’s basketball makes it 10 in a row

What started as a single digit winning streak has turned into a 10-game winning streak for the San Diego State women’s basketball team. Last Sunday, the Aztecs beat the University of Nevada, Las Vegas 86-50 at Viejas Arena.

SDSU continued its dominant ways, and by the second half, the lead was so great UNLV just couldn’t come back.

Senior guard Courtney Clements led the team with 18 points, while sophomore forward Erimma Amarikwa scored 16 points. Senior guard Chelsea Hopkins followed with 11 points and led the team with four assists and seven rebounds.

The Aztecs shot 47.1 percent from the field and made 15-of-19 free throws while the Rebels shot a low 32.7 percent from the field and 63.2 percent from the free- throw line.

SDSU forced 21 turnovers and had a 45-31 rebounding advantage against UNLV.

The Aztecs are now 19-5 overall and are first in the Mountain West with a conference record of 10-1. At 7 p.m. tonight, SDSU will play the University of Wyoming in Laramie, Wyo.

Thomas wins MW Athlete of the Week

Last week, SDSU’s junior Shanieka Thomas was named the Mountain West Women’s Indoor Track and Field Athlete of the Week. This is Thomas’ fourth career MW weekly honor.

The award comes after Thomas’ triple jump mark of 46-2 1/2 inches, which was the sixth best in NCAA history.

The Aztecs head to Nampa, Idaho tomorrow to compete in the Mountain West Indoor Championships.

Lacrosse gets first win of the season

The Aztecs will play against Saint Mary’s University at 7 p.m. on Friday in a conference event at the Aztec Lacrosse Field.
