UNLV’s first game of the Lady Rebel Round-Up on Saturday afternoon put them at 4-0, marking this season the third in a row that UNLV has started with this record.
The 68-52 win over the Hofstra University Pride was a battle until the second half when the Lady Rebels scored 21 points compared to Hofstra’s four over a nine-minute span.
The Lady Rebels did not meet their usual standards of play in the first half, despite holding the lead for the majority of the game. The Pride led once in the first quarter and once in the second before the Lady Rebels locked in nine of the final 12 points, giving UNLV a 31-27 advantage by halftime.
