A 34-point fourth quarter helped the Nevada women’s basketball team snap a five-game losing streak and defeat UNLV, 71-65, Saturday at Lawlor Events Center.
The Wolf Pack (5-20, 4-10 MW) led after the opening quarter but was outscored 35-18 in the next two quarters to face an 11-point deficit entering the final quarter. Nevada outscored the Rebels (14-12, 7-8 MW) 34-17 in the fourth to capture the upset.
Trailing by seven with about half of the quarter remaining, Nevada began chipping away at the lead. Some aggressive play by the Rebels sent the Pack to the free throw line two possessions in a row.
