The game saw the score tied six times and lead changes on three occasions, indicating a closely contested match.

The Lady Rebels showcased their defensive skills by recording seven steals and capitalizing on turnovers, scoring 11 points off them.

Despite these efforts by Wyoming's team members and their higher efficiency in two-point shots compared to UNLV's forty-four percent rate for similar shots, it wasn't enough to secure victory against the determined Lady Rebels who also boasted an assist-to-turnover ratio thrice that of Wyoming – demonstrating better ball control throughout the game.
