Right from the word go Thursday night UT Permian Basin Women's Basketball had it going on against Western New Mexico in the Falcon Dome. Four Falcons finished in double figures while Alexus Quaadman finished with another double-double as they coasted to a 74-52 victory.

The Falcons started the night with a bang.  Avalon Munoz and Quaadman began the night with buckets before Makayla Bingley's three ran the lead to 7-0.  Moments later Kamari Portalis pushed the lead to double figures with a three of her own.  Diavian Spencer knocked down another from long range making it a 17-4 game.  Just before the final buzzer of the quarter, Munoz drew a foul connecting on a pair of free throws for a 19-7 lead.

They continued their offensive onslaught with three-straight threes, with two coming from Morgan Helgesen, extending the lead to 21.  The Mustangs made a little run of their own to chip away at the Falcon led but could never get it close.  Right before the buzzer, Holly Hemmeline connected on a three and the foul for the four-point play and sent them into the half up 42-20.

The Falcons held the lead in the second half, never letting the Mustangs get back into the game.  They led by as many as 26 late in the fourth as the game was never in doubt.

Munoz led all scorers with 17 points while grabbing eight rebounds.  Quaadman finished the night with 11 points and 11 rebounds for her fifth consecutive double-double.  Helgesen added 13 while Bingley finished with 12 points.
