EL PASO, Texas (Interstat) — Two teams coming off season-opening victories will meet Saturday when the Nicholls State Colonels visit the UTEP Miners in a non-conference women’s basketball game at the Don Haskins Center.

Both squads enter the Nov. 8, 2025, contest with 1-0 records. Nicholls State earned a 72-66 road win at Alcorn State on Monday, led by double-digit scoring efforts from Jesslynn Jalomo (15 points) and Jasmine Matthews (16 points). UTEP dominated its opener, defeating Prairie View 84-60. The Miners were paced by Mary Moses Amaniyo’s 16 points and a 14-point, 4-assist performance from Heaven Samayoa-Mathis.

The game represents a final tune-up for both teams before challenging stretches. Nicholls State will embark on a two-game road trip, starting with a visit to Florida State on Nov. 12. UTEP, which hosts Western N.M. on Nov. 11, will play five of its next seven games at home.

Tipoff is scheduled for Saturday at the Don Haskins Center in El Paso.
