Box Score LAS CRUCES, N.M. – New Mexico State women's basketball freshman, Gia Pack, was named the College Sports Madness WAC Player of the Week on Monday after leading the women's basketball team to a resounding win over Western New Mexico, 85-28, on New Year's Eve. The guard put up a career-high 22 points, including four of seven from three-point range, to go along with three steals and two rebounds.
                                      
This is the first College Sports Madness WAC Player of the Week honor of Pack's career and the third time an Aggie player has been recognized this season (Brooke Salas, Tamera William).
 
The game against WNMU saw the Phoenix, Ariz. native play sound basketball as she did not turn the ball over and her three steals helped the team lead in forced turnovers at the end of the game (24-9). The great offensive and defensive night saw Pack lead the team in scoring as she played 21 minutes on the night.
 
The commanding victory for NM State saw them hold the Mustangs to 28 points which was a series low, besting the previous 32 points allowed in a win for the Aggies in 1974-75. The win brought the team to 8-6 on the year.
 
The game against WNMU wrapped up non-conference play for NM State as they will now turn their attention to their Western Athletic Conference opponents beginning with the UMKC Roos on Jan. 5, at 7 p.m. MT, in the Pan American Center.
