LAS CRUCES, New Mexico -- The Aggies three-game win streak came to a rapid halt Saturday when they fell 61-58 against Southern Utah.

Molly Kaiser had a day, matching her season high with 18 points while Shania Harper scored 12 points for her second highest total of the year. Meanwhile Ene Adams was a monster on the glass once again as she tied her career high in boards with 10.

It marked the Aggies first loss in conference play this season as they move to 6-8, 1-1.

NMSU next play Utah Valley on Wednesday at 6 p.m.
