Junior guard Julie Briody should come off the bench and play against Utah Thursday night.
She had a strong first practice back Wednesday after sitting out two games with a sprained ankle.
"I wasn't really sure she was going to be able to come back for this game, but she looked good out there," Lobos coach Don Flanagan said. "We'll see how badly it swells up tonight, but I think she will be able to play."
Senior guard Abbie Letz said she's feeling stronger and hasn't felt much back pain since she was sidelined with spasms late in the game at New Mexico State Dec. 21.
"Knock on wood, it hasn't caused me any trouble lately," she said.
Most of the Lobos who were suffering from the cold and flu have recovered, although junior point guard Katie Montgomery is still battling lingering symptoms. She said she feels fine and is ready to play, despite the obvious hoarse voice and nasal congestion.
Junior forward Timi E-Nunu continues to rehab her knee and hopes to return at some point this season.
