Advertiser Staff

Danisha Corbett's layup with 10 seconds remaining gave New Mexico State a 59-58 victory over Hawai'i in the Western Athletic Conference women's basketball regular season finale for both teams tonight at the Stan Sheriff Center.

New Mexico State is 21-8 overall and 11-5 in the WAC. Hawai'i is 12-17 and 6-10.

The Aggies rallied from a 38-24 halftime deficit and didn't take the lead until Corbett's basket.

UH's Saundra Cariaga missed a jumper with 2 seconds to go and the Aggies grabbed the rebound as time expired.
