Lady Rebels regain aim, earn win over Houston

Two of their top three scorers were completely quiet in the first half as the UNLV women’s basketball team struggled from the floor, shooting less than 30 percent.

But the Lady Rebels still took a two-point lead into halftime.

From there, they shot much better in the second half en route to a 64-53 victory over Houston on Tuesday at Cox Pavilion.

The Lady Rebels (2-0) were a little rushed in the beginning, missing 14 of their first 15 shots, but they settled down as the game wore on, shooting 13-for-28 in the second half.

“Houston played really fast, and we were excited,” UNLV coach Kathy Olivier said.
