This victory brought the Lady Rebels' record back up to .500 at 3 - 3. Creighton is now at 1 - 4 for the season. It was a tough back-and-forth game with 10 lead changes before UNLV was able to pull away in the second half. The Lady Rebs trailed 40 - 35 at the half, but outscored their opponents 41 - 27 in the second half. As a team, the Rebels shot an impressive 49% from the field compared to 37% for the Bluejays. Creighton was also outrebounded by a margin of 41 - 31. UNLV also got the line for 22 free-throw attempts compared to the Bluejays, who shot just four. Sophomore forward Meadow Roland was a force in this game. She scored 25 points, shooting 9 - 13 from the floor, 2 - 4 from beyond the three-point arc, and 5 - 8 from the free-throw line. Roland also led the team with 12 rebounds and chipped in with two assists, one steal, and one block. Teagan Colvin finished second on the team in points.
