The final scoreline read 68-49 in favor of the home team, reflecting a game where the Lady Rebels outperformed their opponents in nearly every aspect. The University of Nevada, Las Vegas now holds an impressive record while UC Santa Barbara grapples with their own standing after this encounter.
From the outset, it was clear that UNLV was in control. They burst out of the gates with an explosive first quarter, racking up 23 points to UCSB's 10. Although the second quarter saw a more evenly matched performance with UNLV adding another 14 points to their tally and UCSB managing 16, it did little to close the gap set by UNLV's initial surge.
The Lady Rebels' dominance continued into the second half as they added another 13 points in the third quarter and finished strong with an additional 18 points in the fourth. Their offensive efforts were matched by a robust defense that kept UCSB's scoring opportunities limited throughout each quarter.
Statistically speaking, UNLV showcased superior shooting accuracy with a field goal percentage of roughly 39 percent compared to UCSB's approximate rate of 33 percent from field goals. Additionally, both teams made three blocks each during gameplay but it was UNLV who excelled in steals and assists; they achieved eight steals and provided fifteen assists which contributed significantly to their offensive flow.
The Lady Rebels also demonstrated strength under both baskets securing forty-seven total rebounds against thirty-seven from UCSB. This rebounding capability gave them more second-chance opportunities which translated into eighteen second-chance points for UNLV compared to ten for UCSB.
Moreover, when looking at fast break scenarios – situations that often turn games – it was again UNLV who capitalized better by scoring ten fast break points while holding UC Santa Barbara to just four such points.
