UNLV jumped out to an early 11-2 lead in the first five minutes of its contest with Montana State and built a 19-point lead at halftime en route to an 80-42 victory over the Bobcats at the Thomas & Mack Center on Saturday afternoon.
Montana State (1-2) shot 31.3% from the field and connected on just one-of-15 from long distance. UNLV (2-0) finished shooting 46% and went 8-17 from beyond the arc.
Montana State trailed 18-6 after the first quarter before Darian White cut the Lady Rebels lead to 26-19 at the 4:28 mark of the second frame on a triple. UNLV closed out the period with a 14-2 run and never looked back.
"It was another tough opponent," said MSU head coach Tricia Binford. "We need to find our identity and it has to start on the defensive end. We have to get stops, and finish plays on the glass.
"We've played three games in six days," Binford added. "We need to get some rest, regroup and respond. We look forward to another opportunity next week."
White was the only Bobcat in double figures with 12 points. She also added five rebounds and four assists. Kola Bad Bear chipped in six points and six boards.
Desi-Rae Young paced UNLV with 21 points and 10 rebounds.
