From the free-throw line, they showed proficiency by making ten out of thirteen attempts for an impressive free throw percentage of approximately 77 percent.

The UNLV Lady Rebels showcased remarkable efficiency on their home court with field goal percentages reaching approximately sixty percent overall and an astonishing sixty-nine percent for two-point shots specifically. Their three-point shooting was less effective at around twenty-three percent but this did not significantly hinder their offensive output due to strong performances elsewhere including eighteen successful free throws out of twenty-two attempted – rounding up to about eighty-two percent accuracy.
