Lady Rebels Dominate Falcons with Commanding 95-68 Victory
In a display of sheer dominance, the UNLV Lady Rebels outclassed the Air Force Falcons with a final score of 95-68. The Lady Rebels' record now stands at an impressive tally, while the Falcons' record reflects their struggle to keep pace. The game was marked by a consistent scoring effort from the home team, who tallied 24, 25, 20 and 26 points across the four quarters respectively.
The Lady Rebels showcased an offensive clinic at Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas, converting an outstanding 69 percent of their two-point attempts and finishing with a field goal percentage of 60. Their performance inside was particularly devastating as they racked up a total of 64 points in the paint. Furthermore, their free throw accuracy was notable as they made good on 82 percent from the line.
Defensively, UNLV also held its ground by securing three blocks and three steals over the course of action. Their rebounding efforts were superior as well; they out-rebounded Air Force by nine boards totaling up to an impressive count of 42 rebounds - with defensive rebounds accounting for most at twenty-nine.
The Falcons tried to keep up but were hindered by lower shooting percentages across all fronts: field goals (37 percent), two-points (43 percent), and three-points (26 percent). Despite this setback, they managed to put together some resistance through fifteen assists and five steals.
Air Force's best quarter came in both third and fourth where they scored twenty-one points each but it wasn't enough to challenge UNLV's lead which had been firmly established early on in the game. They did manage to score thirteen second-chance points but fell short when compared to UNLV's fifteen.
As for individual performances that stood out during this conference game – which saw no lead changes or ejections – one cannot overlook that every player contributed significantly without any technical fouls being recorded against them.
