Podziemska scores 19 in Wyoming win over UNLV
LARAMIE (AP) — Justyna Podziemska scored 19 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to help lead No. 18 Wyoming to an 87-39 victory against UNLV on Wednesday night.
Aubrey Vandiver added 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Cowgirls (17-1, 5-0 Mountain West). Paula Elum came off the bench to score 11 points.
Podziemska’s 3-pointer with 3:52 remaining in the first half capped an 18-4 Wyoming run that made the score 27-9. She hit four more 3-pointers during a 29-7 run early in the second half to put the game out of reach.
“I thought Justyna was tremendous tonight, to be able to come up with 19 points, 11 rebounds, a double-double,” Wyoming coach Joe Legerski said. “More importantly, she’s 7-of-10 from the field, and I even talked to her when she turned it over a couple of times not to get careless with the basketball and make sure she’s really seeing what she wants to do.”
The Cowgirls outrebounded UNLV (6-11, 2-2) 52-34 on the night while holding the Lady Rebels to just 21 percent shooting. Wyoming also outscored UNLV 44-8 in bench points and finished with 19 more points off turnovers.
“One of the things I take a great deal of pride in is how well we can defend, and we’re going to really make every shot difficult,” Legerski said.
Shamela Hampton led UNLV with 10 points.
“They outplayed us,” UNLV coach Regina Miller said. “They are a very good team, especially when they play within their comfort zone, and they are very good at establishing that.”
