Shortly after setting a career high with 20 points, Dylan Gonzalez didn’t want to talk about her offensive performance.
She wanted to talk about the team’s defense after the UNLV women upset Mountain West leader Wyoming 51-46 on Wednesday night at the Thomas & Mack Center.
“That’s just all we work on in practice,” Gonzalez said, “so when we execute defensively, it’s even better than executing offensively because it’s so much more intense on defense just because sometimes you can’t control things on offense, but defense you can always control what you’re doing.”
The defense drew rave reviews from Lady Rebels coach Kathy Olivier, too.
