Phillip McDonald added 11 points and A.J. Hardeman 10 for New Mexico.
Ken Rancifer led all scorers with 19 points for San Diego (1-4).
The Toreros were held to their lowest point total of the season in what was also the Lobos' best defensive effort in their five games.
San Diego held a 13-9 lead with 12:18 remaining in the first half, but the Lobos closed the half on a 23-5 run for a 32-18 advantage at the break. New Mexico's lead never dropped into single digits thereafter.
