LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) Diego Pavia threw for two touchdowns, Jamoni Jones had a pair of short scoring rushes and New Mexico State defeated Lamar 51-14 on Saturday for the Aggies' third straight victory, their first three-game win streak since 2017.

Andre Seldon scored on a 19-yard interception return just a minute into the game and the Aggies didn't look back, leading 37-0 at halftime.

The Aggies (4-5) outgained the FCS Cardinals 451-254 while scoring 50-plus points for the first time since 2019. It's just the fourth time since 2011 the Aggies have won at least four games.

Lamar (1-9) gave up three turnovers.
