Even head coach Joe Franklin had to get use to the unique foothills and altitude that the University of New Mexico boasts. Last year the Lady Lobos placed 3rd in the nation.

"Luckily we didn't get anybody lost. Nobody fell on the rocks. Everybody made it back okay. Which is actually, strange." - Joe Franklin
