Tuesday's scores: Afternoon edition

Play.

That was the word Rio Rancho girls basketball coach Bob McIntyre wanted his Rams to think about during halftime today in their Class 5A quarterfinal.

Athletic Alamogordo dominated No. 3 seed Rio Rancho for most of the first half. The No. 6 Tigers led by seven at the half. It had been as high as 12 points.

Rio Rancho relaxed in the second half -- easy to do with Megan Muniz at the wheel -- and rolled to a 54-44 win. Muniz, who might be the smoothest, most skilled perimeter player in the state, finished with 26 points, three assists and three rebounds. Perhaps most impressive: She scored 16 straight points for the Rams during a run that spanned the third and fourth quarters.
