KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Interstat) — The undefeated UTEP Miners look to continue their strong start to the season when they visit the Missouri-Kansas City Kangaroos in a nonconference women’s basketball game Tuesday afternoon at Municipal Auditorium.

UTEP (4-0) is coming off a hard-fought 64-60 overtime victory against Tennessee-Martin on Saturday. Mary Moses Amaniyo led the Miners with 18 points in that contest, while Portia Adams added 13 points and Ivane Tensaie scored 15. The Miners have won each of their first four games by double digits, with their closest margin being the four-point OT win.

The Kangaroos (2-3) are looking to build momentum after a dominant 121-43 win over Hesston College last Thursday. Kelby Bannerman poured in 28 points and grabbed nine rebounds in that outing, and Elauni Bennett added 22 points and eight boards. UMKC’s three losses have come against higher-division opponents Kansas, Oklahoma and Lindenwood.

The game pits UTEP’s perfect record against a UMKC squad seeking a signature win against a Division I opponent. The Miners will rely on their balanced scoring attack, while the Kangaroos will look for another high-output performance from Bannerman and Bennett on their home court.
